Abstract:
A method and apparatus involve: performing a plurality of analytical scans during normal operation of a mass spectrometer having a detection section, wherein data is generated during the analytical scans in a manner that includes use of the detection section; and automatically evaluating the data from the analytical scans to monitor whether an actual gain of the detection section changes over time.
