Abstract

See full text

A variable data dependent acquisition/dynamic exclusion (vDDA/DE) method selects target m/z range utilizing a MS1 precursor topography map over the most recently acquired MS spectrum to identify the precursor m/z values and MS/MS acquisition parameters to improve the selection of the next data-dependent MS/MS acquisition. The topography used to define the next set of DDA scan events is defined by previous tandem MS scan events defined by precursor quadrupole isolation windows as well as all detected compounds contained within the specific tandem MS events. At least some of the parameters used for MS/MS data acquisition are dynamic so as to exhaustively sample the user specified MS mass range with MS/MS information. These parameters include the quadrupole MS isolation width and symmetry around the targeted m/z value. Using this approach, a greater proportion of the precursor m/z space is effectively and efficiently sampled per chromatographic peak width.
