SYSTEM EVALUATION MATRIX #1
I. INT RODUCTION
This System Evaluation Matrix #1 is intended for use as a
reproducible background signal in the evaluation of LC and MS
system performance.
It is especially suitable for standard small molecule applications
where a complicated matrix is required, but naturally occurring
alternatives, such as urine and plasma, are impractical.
Typically additional application-specific components are added to
the matrix to provide analytical markers, although it may be used
without these.
The matrix provides a background in both positive and negative ion.
II. Storage and Stability.
The lyophilized powder is shipped at ambient temperatures, in
Waters TruView
™ Max Recovery Vials (P/N 186005668cv). The
prepared matrix is stable for at least one week. Beyond this time
for performance testing and evaluation, fresh re-preparation of the
matrix is recommended.
