  • Detecting low level LCMS components by chromatographic reconstruction
    Patent number: 10429364
    Abstract: A method for analyzing a sample can include obtaining an exclusion list of retention time and mass-to-charge ranges corresponding to high abundance compounds within a sample; separating components of the sample using the chromatographic column; obtaining a first mass data set using the mass analyzer while excluding ions within retention time and mass-to-charge ranges of the exclusion list; generating an inclusion list of features of the first mass data set; fragmenting ions corresponding to features of the inclusion list; obtaining a second mass data set from the fragmented ions; and identifying and/or quantifying low abundance compounds based on the second mass data set.
