TFA suppressionResolved

The TFA-versus-formic-acid trade-off is a real practical constraint and explains why LC-MS purity figures and RP-HPLC purity figures come from different runs. — MassSpecMarv (talk) 09:45, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

Stated with the cost in peak shape, so it reads as a trade-off rather than a rule. ✓ Done — TFA_Counterion (talk) 13:20, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

Resolved. This thread is closed. Reopening it is fine if new sources appear; please add a new subsection rather than editing the closed discussion.

Ion suppressionDone

Ion suppression is the reason electrospray is not quantitative without calibration, and saying so here saves the mass spectrometry article restating it. — NewLabNell (talk) 10:25, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Cross-linked rather than duplicated. ✓ Done — Chromatokid (talk) 14:00, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
