Abstract: The invention concerns a method for multiplexed tandem mass spectrometry of a sample to be analyzed containing at least two precursors, wherein at least two simplified multiplexed MS-MS spectra are obtained each from at least two selected precursors of the sample, the method comprising: (d) for each selected precursor generating an individual MS-MS spectrum from the simplified multiplexed MS-MS spectrum by selecting fragment ions of the simplified multiplexed MS-MS spectrum, the fragment ions are potential fragment ions obtained from the precursor; (e) submitting each individual MS-MS spectrum of step (d) to a real and a decoy database searches using a scoring process without score threshold condition or low score threshold condition for identifying candidate precursors and their fragment ions; (f) producing real individual MS-MS spectra from identified candidate precursors resulting from the real database search of step (e); and producing decoy individual MS-MS spectra from identified candidate precursors re
