Polymer Calibration Information

Details of how to calibrate a time-of-flight mass spectrometer system can be found on our wiki.

The following tables of data may be used to calibrate the time-of-flight mass spectrometer.

PEG Monoisotopic             PEG M+1                    PEG M+2              PEG average

PS Monoisotopic                PS M+1                       PS M+2                 PS Average

 

The following Excel files contain the data tables for the polymer calibrants indicated. You can modify the end groups there to fit your needs.

Poly(ethylene glycol), PEG	PEG Excel File
Poly(propylene glycol), PPG	PPG Excel File
Poly(tetramethylene glycol) (poly-THF), PTMEG	PTMEG Excel File
Poly(methylmethacrylate), PMMA	PMMA Excel File
Poly(styrene), PS	PS Excel File
