Data from the dedicated positive <strong>and</strong> negative experiment were<br />

compared to data from the polarity switching experiment. Peak<br />

areas <strong>and</strong> signal-to-noise (S/N) were compared, as well as %CV<br />

of the peak areas.<br />

Variations between the sets of data were minimal, demonstrating<br />

that no significant loss of data quality was observed when a<br />

positive/negative switching method was used versus a dedicated<br />

method (see Figure 1-4).<br />
