Resolution: 10 percent valley definition
Value of (m/z)/Δ(m/z) measured for two peaks of equal height in a mass spectrum at m/z and m/z ∆(m/z) that are separated by a valley which at its lowest point is 10 % of the height of either peak. For peaks of similar height separated by a valley, let the height of the valley at its lowest point be 10 % of the lower peak. Then the resolution (10 % valley definition) is (m/z)/Δ(m/z) and should be given for a number of values of m/z.

Resolution: 10 percent valley definition

Let two peaks of equal height in a mass spectrum at masses m and m - Δm be separated by a valley which at its lowest point is just 10% of the height of either peak. For similar peaks at a mass exceeding m , let the height of the valley at its lowest point be more (by any amount) than 10% of either peak. Then the resolution (10% valley definition) is m / Δm. The ratio m /Δm should be given for a number of values of m.
