BRIEFS Influence of the Ratio of Matrix to Analyte on the Fast Atom Bombardment Mass Spectrometric Response of Peptides Sampled from Aqueous Glycerol 2674 A systematic manipulation of sample composition (analyte, glycerol, and water) with five different peptides shows the potential for significant mass spectral enhancement. A model emphasizing surface effects is proposed. C. E. Heine, J. F. Holland, and J. T. Watson*, Departments of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824 Comparison of Screening Techniques for Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Waste Oils 2682 The accuracy, precision, and interference susceptibility of colorimetric kits and neutron activation analysis for screening PCBs in oils are reported.
