Spectrum peaks not
labeled with charge state
when charge state labels
are selected Mass of original molecule

range in which the Mariner
system can resolve the
isotope peaks No action. Normal
occurrence.
Charge State parameters
not set to detect at least
two isotope peaks Adjust parameters. See
“Peak Processing
parameters (spectrum
data only)” on page 3-26.
Peaks are more than 1 Da
apart No action. Normal
occurrence.
Peaks are not from the
same isotope species No action. Normal
occurrence.
Filter width is set too high
to detect other isotope
peaks Adjust Filter Width. See
“Advanced Settings

page 3-28.
Maximum Charge State
for charge state
determination is set lower
than the charge state of
the peak Adjust the Maximum
Charge State. See “Peak
