Differences between “Find Any” and “Find” in FormulaFinder in SCIEX OS Software

For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Answer

In SCIEX OS software, the “Find Any” function in Formula Finder considers just the monoisotopic peak to be within the m/z tolerance. Both odd (in italics) and even electron elemental compositions are provided. When using “Find Any” element ranges “From” and “To” are considered.

The “Find” function in Formula Finder uses all constraints, including the mass tolerance for all selected peaks in the isotope pattern and the settings from the Options dialog.
