Under negative ionization conditions, nominal mass calibration of the fast bombardment high field mass spectrometer and data system was accomplished using cesium iodide/glycerol as a reference. Mass calibration at --8 kV accelerating potential extends from m/z 387 to m/z 2170 using xenon fast atoms. Negative xenon FAB mass spectra for human angiotensin I and human gastrin I complement their positive fast atom bombardment spectra. Negative xenon fast atom bombardment spectra of underivatized peptides exhibit molecular proton-abstracted ion envelopes and structurally significant fragment ions. Peptide mixture analysis under negative xenon fast atom bombardment reveals peptide molecular ion envelopes of higher relative intensities than under positive xenon fast atom bombardment.
