In addition to mass accuracy, the ability of a mass spectrometer to faithfully measure the isotopic distribution of an ion, defined as spectral accuracy, is also important. Although time-of-flight mass spectrometers are reported to possess high spectral accuracy capability compared with other mass spectrometers, the Orbitrap has not yet been investigated. Ten natural products (moxidectin, erythromycin, digoxin, rifampicin, amphotericin B, rapamycin, gramicidin S, cyclosporin A, vancomycin, and thiostrepton) ranging in molecular weight from 639 to 1663 Da were measured on an LTQ/Orbitrap mass spectrometer with resolving power settings of 7.5, 15, 30, 60, and 100 K. The difference in the observed profile isotope pattern compared with the theoretical calculation after peak shape calibration, denoted spectral error, was calculated using the program MassWorks (Cerno Bioscience, Danbury, CT, USA). Spectral errors were least at 7.5 K resolving power (900 Da. (J Am Soc Mass Spectrom 2009, 20, 2058-2069) (C) 2009 American Society for Mass Spectrometry
