Calibration Approaches for Automated SIFT-MS
Dr. Mark Perkins, Senior Applications Chemist, Anatune Limited, UK
This presentation describe how instrument calibration is achieved very simply and rapidly with automated SIFT-MS instrumentation. Traditional calibration approaches have not featured regularly in the SIFT-MS literature due to widespread use of reliable library-based quantitation. Calibration is, however, essential for contract testing laboratories and other regulatory measurements. Practical examples will be given to illustrate the various approaches.
Dr Mark Perkins is a senior applications chemist and SIFT-MS expert at Anatune Limited, based in Cambridge, United Kingdom. Mark joined Anatune in early 2015. His current role supports and expands the analytical capability of SIFT-MS – with a particular focus on autosampler integration and the development of automated test methods. Prior to joining Anatune, Mark graduated from the University of Southampton, UK, with a Ph.D. in electrochemistry. Then he joined the Malaysian Rubber Board’s UK research center as a senior analyst, running the gas and liquid chromatography section – eventually becoming the head of the whole analytical section.
