Abstract:
A method for optimizing at least one parameter setting of at least one mass spectrometry device (110) operating at unit resolution is disclosed. The method comprises the following steps:
a) determining at least one analyte detection window for detecting an analyte of interest with the mass spectrometry device (110), wherein the analyte detection window is defined by a central mass to charge ratio value of the analyte and a predefined width, wherein the central mass to charge ratio value of the analyte is set to a theoretical mass to charge ratio value of the analyte of interest having more than one decimal place and/or a mass to charge ratio value of the analyte of interest determined by a high resolution mass spectrometry measurement having more than one decimal place;
b) determining at least one internal standard detection window for detecting an internal standard substance with the mass spectrometry device (110), wherein the internal standard detection window is defined by a central mass to charge ratio value of the internal standard substance and the pre-defined width, wherein the central mass to charge ratio value of the internal standard substance is set to a mass to charge ratio value of the internal standard substance calculated relative to the analyte of interest and having more than one decimal place and/or to a mass to charge ratio value of the internal standard substance determined by a high resolution mass spectrometry measurement having more than one decimal place.
