Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for determining composition of chemical constituents in a complex mixture are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method for determining composition of chemical constituents in a complex mixture includes generating, using a separation tool and a mass spectrometer, separation and mass spectrometry data of a sample, wherein the separation data includes peak information and wherein the mass spectrometry data includes primary and secondary mass spectrometry data. The analysis results, including the generated separation and mass spectrometry data, are collected and stored. A chemical constituent of the sample is determined by comparing the analysis results to a library of information indicating characteristics of chemical entities, where the comparison is based on the separation and mass spectrometry information. The library of information includes data generated by the separation tool and mass spectrometer, and also includes separation and mass spectrometry data for both identified and unidentified chemical entities. An indication of the chemical constituent of the sample is made available in human-accessible form.

摘要:
A method (200) for performing separation assays of biochemical samples includes computing a quality metric (210) based on peak data produced during the separation run. The quality metric is the basis for selecting a subsequent step in the assay, including whether to re-run the separation when the quality metric indicates a low quality separation run. In a preferred embodiment, the quality metric is computed based on a peak resolution metric indicative of the peak resolution of the sample peaks in the data and a signal-to-noise ratio of the data. When a co-migrating standard is included in the separation run, the quality metric is further based on the degree of migration linearity of the reference peaks produced by the standard. The method was reduced to practice in separations to size and sort DNA fragments in high-throughput capillary array electrophoresis separations.
