50 amu is only caused by CF2 (to my knowledge), so you have a fluorocarbon or fluorocarbon tail. There are lots of surfactants that have the hydrophobic portion that is fluorinated. Typically, this portion is C8F17 to C3F7. The other end maybe ethoxylated (giving masses 44 apart). If you're not separating the surfactant, you'll get many different ethoxylations at once or if you are separating them, you'll get a series of peaks that differ by 44 amu in the spectra.
