Abstract

See full text

A method of acquiring and compiling data obtained on a mass spectrometer system, comprises: (a) generating a multiplexed mass spectrum comprising a superposed plurality of product-ion mass spectra comprising a plurality of product-ion types, each product-ion mass spectrum corresponding to fragmentation of a respective precursor-ion type, each precursor-ion type and each product ion type having a respective mass-to-charge (m/z) ratio; (b) decomposing the multiplexed product-ion mass spectrum so as to recognize relative abundances of previously-observed product-ion mass spectra within the multiplexed product-ion mass spectrum, the decomposing employing a mass-spectral library having a plurality of entries corresponding to respective product ion mass spectra previously-observed on said mass spectrometer system; (c) recognizing an additional contribution to the multiplexed mass spectrum that is neither attributable to random variation nor to any previously-observed product-ion spectrum; and (d) storing at least one new entry in the mass-spectral library relating to the recognized additional contribution.
