Title: Acquisition of fragment ion mass spectra of biopolymers in mixtures
Inventor: DECKER JENS
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2015-01-19
Abstract: A method of analysis of mass spectroscopy MS data comprises a) defining or preselecting a mass range, b) adding the intensities of each ion species of a given mass. Preferably the method further comprises c) identifying the mass, Ms, with the greatest intensity and d) selecting the single ion species of mass Ms having the highest charge to mass ratio Ms/z for further fragmentation MS analysis, the mass of the charge carriers used in the analysis having been subtracted. Once analysed, the contribution of the fragmented single ion may be deleted from the overall mass spectrum and the process repeated to identify and fragment analyse further ion species, again chosen using the criteria of steps c) and d). In practice, range of mass data is binned. The analytical method allows the prioritisation of parent ions for fragmentation during mass spectroscopy analyses that produce diverse charge states.
