Current calibration standards for EI have either limited mass range [perfluorotributylamine (PFTBA), perfluorokerosene (PFK), s-triazines (TRIS)] or poor peak intensities with significant chemical background in the instrument for several days (perfluoroalkyl phosphazine). The newly synthesized fluorinated silyl alkyl amines mixture is proposed as a reference/calibration standard for EI-MS. This standard produced abundant parent and fragment ions across the entire mass range without any memory effect.
