I am performing an LC-MS/MS analysis in MRM (Multiple Reaction Monitoring) mode.
I have three different compounds. Each compound has a different Q1 (precursor ion) but produces the same Q3 (product ion) after fragmentation.
Their retention times are also different.
However, when I monitor only one MRM transition (for one compound), I observe signals for all three compounds at their respective retention times.
Could someone please explain why this is happening?
