Dear Scott,

If you use polypropylene glycol (PPG) for calibration, the +58 ion series
may be coming from there. It may also be due to extracted polymer from
plastic ware or silicon coatings. Shot detergent containing samples also
explain the +58 ion series.

Best regards,

Subject: +58amu?

     Hi folks,

     We've seen a +58 species several times when dealing with recombinant
     proteins (not carboxymethylated!). Does anyone have any ideas as to
     what this could be?
     Thanks in advance...
