LC/MS data generated by an LC/MS system is analyzed to determine groupings of ions associated with originating molecules. Ions arc grouped initially according to retention time, for example, using retention time or chromatographic peaks in mass chromatograms. After initial groupings are determined based on retention time, ion peak shapes are compared to determine whether ions should be excluded. Ions having peak shapes not matching other ions, or alternatively a reference peak shape, are excluded from the group.

A method of mass spectrometry. The method starts with gaining a total ion chromatogram by a mass spectrometer. An accumulation mass spectrum indicating vicinities of a desired peak top of the total ion chromatogram is displayed. The operator selects a desired mass peak from the displayed accumulation mass spectrum. Another mass chromatogram that is coincident in elution start time, maximum elution time, and elution end time with the mass chromatogram of the selected mass peak are extracted and selected out as a mass peak. Thus, a mass spectrum of a single component is reconstructed.

In quantitation without using the isotope labeling technique, there is no means to detect the presence/absence and the time region of the occurrence of quantitative analysis-inhibitory factors in data for the analysis, and the reliability of the data for the analysis cannot be evaluated. Also, the error of the data due to the occurrence of the quantitative analysis-inhibitory factors cannot be evaluated. In order to solve the problems, first, an internal standard to be detected simultaneously with a component for the analysis is mixed in a mobile phase or an eluate of a liquid chromatograph; under the condition where no quantitative analysis-inhibitory factors occur, a blank sample is analyzed to acquire a mass chromatogram of ions originated from the internal standard; and the result is stored in a data storage unit. Then, a sample for the analysis is mixed to acquire data for the analysis of the sample; and the intensity of ions originated from the internal standard is compared with that of the blank sample in the analysis real time in a data analysis unit. At this time, if an inconsistency exceeding a predetermined threshold is detected, the occurrence of the quantitative analysis-inhibitory factors can be detected. Further, based on the inconsistency, the error range of the data can be given to a data set and the like.

This invention relates to graphical user-interactive displays for use in MS-based analysis of protein impurities, as well as methods and software for generating and using such. One aspect provides a user-interactive display comprising an extracted mass chromatogram (XIC), an MS1 spectrum and an MS2 spectrum, all simultaneously representing a user-selected peptide. Another aspect provides a user interactive display simultaneously presenting paired spectra (XIC, MS1 and/or MS2) for a variant peptide and its corresponding wildtype counterpart.

A data independent acquisition method of mass spectrometry for analysing a sample as it elutes from a chromatography system is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: ionising the sample to produce precursor ions, selecting a precursor mass range for the sample to be analysed, performing a plurality of MS1 scans and performing at most two sets of MS2 scans. Each of the MS1 scans uses a mass analyser operated at a first, relatively higher resolution, for identification and/or quantitation of the sample in the MS1 domain across the precursor mass range. The set of MS2 scans comprises performing MS2 scans of fragmented mass range segments performed with the mass analyser, operated at a second, relatively lower resolution. In the method, the MS1 scans are interleaved throughout the performing of the set of MS2 scans such that the MS1 scans provide a mass chromatogram of the sample.

In the case where a given mass range is repeatedly scanned to sequentially create mass spectra and create a mass chromatogram or the like, when a number of data, which are arranged on the mass axis and constitute a mass profile of the given mass range, are collected for a predetermined number of the alignment (S1 and S2), a two-dimensional filtering process is performed by correcting the target data, for each data aligned in the mass axis direction, using the data contiguous before and after in the mass axis direction and the data contiguous before and after in the time axis direction (S3). For the mass profile constituted of the data thus processed, a peak detection is performed (S4) and the peak's mass number is determined to create a mass spectrum (S5). Consequently, the mass numbers' fluctuation in the mass spectrum is moderated, the mass resolution is increased, and the accuracy of the mass chromatogram is also increased.

The comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis method of the nitrogen-containing compound in the rock extract overcomes the interference problems of overlapping peaks in conventional GC/MS chromatogram; and the qualitative and quantitative results are accurate and reliable.

A chromatograph mass analysis data processing apparatus is provided for obtaining pertinent information, with a simple operation, on a compound series including a plurality of compounds whose structures and characters are similar. Based on the data obtained by a chromatograph mass analysis, a two-dimensional isointensity line graph is created and displayed with a retention time and a mass-to-charge ratio on the two axes and with a signal intensity represented with a contour (S1). When the operator specifies a desired range by a drag operation or the like through a mouse (S2), the data contained in the range specified are collected (S3), the signal intensities along the mass-to-charge ratio axis direction are summed up for every retention time to create a summed mass chromatogram based on the summed value (S4 and S5). Simultaneously, the signal intensities along the retention time axis direction are summed up for every mass-to-charge ratio to create a summed mass spectrum based on the summed value (S6 and S7). These are then displayed on the same screen of the isointensity line graph (S8).

High-intensity, spiked noise is reduced in chromatography-mass spectrometry data by applying a nonlinear filter such as a moving median filter to the data. The filter is applied to individual mass chromatograms, plots of ion abundance versus retention time for each detected mass-to-charge ratio, and the filtered chromatograms are combined to form a filtered total ion current chromatogram. Standard linear filters are not effective for reducing noise in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) data because they assume a normal distribution of noise. LC-MS noise, however, is not normally distributed.

A method and system for detecting pesticide residue in agricultural products. The system includes a chromatographic and mass-spectrometric system and a computer. The system inspects first and second sample solutions prepared from two identical extracts of an agricultural product. The first sample solution includes no additives while the second sample is added with a pesticide standard which is intended to be detected by the system for comparison. The computer compares the mass chromatograms of the first and second sample solutions, and calculate an increased integral area by which the peak of the second sample solution in the second mass chromatogram exceeds the peak of the first sample solution in the first mass chromatogram at the same retention time. As such, the concentration of pesticide residue in the sample can be determined by a ratio between the increased integral area and the concentration of the pesticide standard.
