I am working on detecting cinnamic and pcoumaric acids in my cell culture but i dont see any peak in my Shimadzu IT-TOF(ESI source) even at high concentration like 100 ug/ml.

I do see peaks in my UPLC single quad (ESI source).

why my IT-TOF does not show any peak?

it is set up at following parameters.

Neb gas flow 1.5L/min, CDL and heat block temp at 200C, detector voltage 1.55 kv, interface voltage -3.5KV, +4.5KV.

what should I change to see my peaks in shimadzu..
