Why use signal-to-noise as a measure of MS performance when it is often meaningless?
Date: Jul 20, 2011 - 15:00
In the past, the signal-to-noise of a chromatographic peak determined from a single measurement has served as a convenient figure of merit used to compare the performance of two different MS systems. The evolution in the design of mass spectrometry instrumentation has resulted in very low noise systems that have made the comparison of performance based upon signal-to-noise increasingly difficult, and in some modes of operation impossible. This is especially true when using ultra-low noise modes such as...
