Fast‐atom bombardment ionization requires the sample to be in solution. This is often achieved by predissolving the sample in a suitable solvent. However, spectra can be obscured by solvent/matrix cluster ions. This work has examined a number of common solvents and their propensity for clustering with glycerol or other matrices.
