Answer:

Usually the use of two calibrant ions to bracket the analyte ion will achieve better accuracy. To achieve optimum mass accuracy the m/z of a single point calibrant ion should be as close as possible to that of the analyte ion; this is particularly important for magnetic sector mass spectrometers.
