A method of mass spectrometry is disclosed comprising performing a plurality of experimental runs, wherein each experimental run comprises: periodically mass analysing fragment or product ions at a plurality of time intervals, wherein a delay time is provided between the start of the experimental run and the first time interval at which the fragment or product ions are mass analysed. Different delay times are provided in different ones of the experimental runs and fragment or product ions that have been analysed in the same time interval in at least one of said experimental runs and that have been analysed in different time intervals in at least one other of said experimental runs are identified as fragment or product ions of interest. These fragment or product ions are thus determined to relate to different precursor ions and are used to identify their respective precursor ions.
