    Abstract: A separation device is instructed to separate a compound from a sample over a time period. A mass spectrometer is instructed to measure a plurality of intensities of at least one ion of the separated compound over the time period, producing a chromatogram. At least one peak of the at least one ion is identified from the chromatogram using a peak-finding algorithm. Two or more different peak integration areas are calculated for the at least one peak by applying the peak-finding algorithm with two or more different values for at least one peak-finding parameter. Two or more plots of the at least one peak that each shows graphically a different peak integration area are displayed on a display device at the same time. In response, data is received from a user selection device that indicates user selection of one of the two or more plots.

    Abstract: One or more known compounds of a sample are ionized. At least one precursor ion corresponding to a compound of the one or more known compounds is selected and fragmented, producing a product ion mass spectrum for the precursor ion. An m/z tolerance probability function that varies from 1 to 0 with increasing values of an m/z difference between two mass peaks and that includes one or more values between 1 and 0 is received. A library product ion mass spectrum for the at least one compound is retrieved from a memory. An m/z difference between at least one experimental product ion mass peak in the product ion mass spectrum and at least one library product ion mass peak in the library product ion mass spectrum is calculated. An m/z tolerance probability that determines if the two peaks are corresponding peaks is calculated from the m/z difference using the probability function.

    Abstract: One or more known compounds of a sample are ionized using an ion source, producing an ion beam of precursor ions. A tandem mass spectrometer receives the ion beam from the ion source, selects one or more precursor ions from the ion beam using a precursor ion mass selection window, fragments precursor ions within the precursor ion mass selection window, and mass analyzes the resulting product ions, producing an unknown product ion mass spectrum. A library product ion mass spectrum for a known compound is retrieved from a memory. Each peak of the unknown spectrum is analyzed for a potential non-halogen isotopic peak using a processor, and if a potential non-halogen isotopic peak is found, it is removed if it does not have a corresponding peak in the library spectrum.

    Abstract: First, an MS scan of a mass range of a control sample that does not include a metabolite is performed (601) producing background peak m/z and intensity values for background precursor ions (602). Background peaks are selected for an exclusion list and in the exclusion list an m/z value and an intensity value are included for each background peak (604). Next, an MS scan of the mass range of an experimental sample that does include a metabolite is performed (610) producing peak m/z and intensity values for precursor ions (612). Peaks are selected for a peak list and in the peak list an m/z value and an intensity value are included for each peak (614). Finally, each peak of the peak list that has both an m/z value and an intensity value that correspond to an m/z value and an intensity value of a background peak of the exclusion list is excluded from the peak list (616).

    Abstract: Each of one or more unknown compounds are separated from a sample over a separation time period. Separated compounds are ionized, producing one or more compound precursor ions for each of the unknown compounds and a plurality of background precursor ions. A precursor ion mass spectrum is measured for the combined compound and background precursor ions at each time step of a plurality of time steps spread across the separation time period, producing a plurality of precursor ion mass spectra. One or more background precursor ions are selected from the plurality of precursor ion mass spectra that have a resolving power in a range below a threshold expected resolving power. A separation time is detected for an unknown compound when a decrease in an intensity measurement of the selected background precursor ions over a time period exceeds a threshold decrease in intensity with respect to time.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for determining if the dynamic range of quantitation in mass spectrometry can be extended. A DIA method is performed on a sample for a compound of interest at each acquisition time of a plurality of acquisition times. A plurality of product ion spectra are produced for each window of two or more precursor ion mass selection windows. A known product ion of the compound of interest is selected. Two or more XICs are calculated from two or more different precursor ion windows for the known product ion. A ratio of one XIC of the two or more XICs to at least one other XIC of the two or more XICs is calculated. If the ratio is above a threshold, the XIC is used in the quantitation. If not, two or more XICs can be combined into a single XIC that is used for the quantitation.
