Method Development<br />

High Sensitivity Capillary <strong>Column</strong> Methods<br />

TFA is generally not used for LC/MS separations of proteins<br />

and peptides. The first step is normally to replace TFA with 0.1<br />

to 1% formic acid. Acetic acid, up to 1% can also be used as<br />

an alternative mobile phase modifier. At low pH, the best<br />

separation may still be obtained with TFA in the mobile phase.<br />

In some cases, the TFA can be displaced post-column with an<br />

alternative acid, such as propionic acid.<br />

Mobile Phase Considerations<br />

Low pH Mid and High pH<br />

LC/MS can also be done at high pH with 10-20 mM NH 4OH<br />

as a mobile phase additive.
