  • Publication number: 20060243900
    Abstract: A mass spectrometry system is described. The mass spectrometry system comprises: (a) a mass spectrometer; and (b) a controller connected to the mass spectrometer. The controller is configured to: (i) direct the mass spectrometer to acquire a precursor ion spectrum of a sample stream; (ii) analyze, in real-time, the precursor ion spectrum to determine whether a first evaluation criterion is satisfied; (iii) if the first evaluation criterion is satisfied, direct the mass spectrometer to acquire a product ion spectrum of the sample stream; (iv) analyze, in real-time, the product ion spectrum to determine whether a second evaluation criterion is satisfied; and (v) if the second evaluation criterion is satisfied, analyze the product ion spectrum to assign an identification to the product ion spectrum. For certain implementations, the controller allows automated, data-dependent acquisition of mass spectrometry data to improve the efficiency at which peptidic data of interest can be acquired.
