“…ESI‐Q‐TOF has an accurate ion isotopic distribution and exact mass analysis at sub‐ppm or ppm levels for organic compounds, which is useful for the identification of dyes and their degradation components. Q‐TOF is used often in conjunction with ESI (Hisaindee et al, 2013; Kuenemann et al, 2017; Y. Li et al, 2020; Liu et al, 2021; Sultana, Liu, et al, 2018) and appears to be one of the more commonly applied methods for MALDI analysis as well (Negrete et al, 2019; Zeng et al, 2018). Triple quadrupoles are commonly used for ESI, appearing frequently in research and industry due to their ease and cost (Arrizabalaga‐Larranaga et al, 2019, 2021; Hu et al, 2018; Rubio et al, 2021; Shen et al, 2017).…”
