Abstract:
1. A method for performing MS/MS of everything in a mass spectrometer system, the method comprising: receiving from a mass separation system, ionisable materials separated in order of molecular weight in a plurality of mass ranges, each said mass range comprising a respective center mass value and a respective width, said plurality of mass ranges received in a given order in time; ionising said ionisable materials in said given order that each of said plurality of mass ranges are received, to form respective precursor ions in a respective given mass range; filtering said respective precursor ions via a mass filter module, to repetitively scan a selected mass range from the plurality of mass ranges, said mass scan range of said mass filter module comprises a center value that is synchronized in time with said center mass value of each of said plurality of mass ranges received in said given order; fragmenting said respective precursor ions, via a fragmentation module, to form respective product ions; and analyzing said respective product ions in a mass spectrometer module to produce product ion spectra.
