Publication number: 20230307220Abstract: A 3-D array of intensity measurements measured as a function of m/z and time is received from a separation device coupled mass spectrometer. The 3-D array is converted to an intensity matrix D. The rows correspond to measured m/z or m/z related values. The columns correspond to time or time-related values. NMF is applied to the D matrix to solve for matrix M and matrix A of the equation D=MA. The NMF is applied to produce in a row (i) of the A matrix time or time-related intensity values for a peak (i) that separates the peak (i) from the 3-D array. The NMF is also applied to produce in column (i) of the M matrix m/z or m/z related intensity values corresponding to the peak (i). A profile of peak (i) is displayed from row (i) or a sum of two or more rows.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2021Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventor: John Warwick Silzel
