  • Patent number: 9063162
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to apparatus and methods for performing mass spectrometry. Data pair information is subjected to an ion audit process in which data pair information that relates to scored compounds is subtracted from the data pair information. The depleted information more readily reveals data pair information for compounds present with smaller signals.

  • Patent number: 8592752
    Abstract: Techniques are described for matching a precursor ion with one or more related product ions. Input data sets are obtained from a plurality of injections. Each of the input data sets includes a same precursor ion and one or more product ions. The input data sets are normalized in accordance with a single retention time for the precursor ion. For each input data set, it is determined which product ions are within a predetermined retention time window with respect to the single retention time for the precursor ion. If a product ion is within the predetermined retention time window in at least one of the input data sets, it is determined that the product ion is related to the precursor ion. An apparatus for analyzing a sample includes a chromatography module, a mass-spectrometry module, and a control unit.

  • Publication number: 20110226941
    Abstract: Techniques are described for matching a precursor ion with one or more related product ions, including providing a plurality of input data sets obtained from a plurality of injections, each of the plurality of input data sets including a same precursor ion and one or more product ions, normalizing the plurality of input data sets in accordance with a single retention time for the precursor ion, for each of the plurality of input data sets, determining which product ions are within a predetermined retention time window with respect to the single retention time for the precursor ion, and if a product ion is within the predetermined retention time window in at least one of the plurality of input data sets, determining that the product ion is related to the precursor ion having the single retention time
