LC-MS low mass cutoff

Does anyone know of an LC-MS instrument that has a low mass cutoff below 18? I have a molecule that has significant in-source fragmentation into what I'm assuming is an ammonium cation, but I can't see this ion on my current MS instruments due to very little ion transmission below 50. I have Agilent (1100 MSD, 6140 MSD, and LC/MSD TOF) and Waters (Quattro Ultima) instruments. Or is there a way to increase the transmission of low mass ions on my current instruments?

Thanks a lot,
-Ryan
