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...
