    Abstract: Described is a method of reducing liquid composition errors in a low-pressure mixing pump system. Packets representing the switching intervals of each component of the desired fluid mixture are provided to an intake of the mixing pump system. For each packet, a switching time associated with at least one of the components in the packet is modulated. Modulated switching times are based on time offsets that are specifically selected according to the undesirable frequency characteristic of an intake response of the mixing pump system. The average of the volumes contributed by the packets thus modulated is equal to a component volume that achieves a desired proportion of the component in the output flow of the mixing pump system. Modulated switching times enable the reduction or elimination of composition error in the output flow of the mixing pump system.

    Abstract: A method of analyzing a complex sample includes performing a sequential chromatographic-IMS-MS analysis of a sample to obtain a plurality of experimental mass spectra having isotopic clusters, wherein each spectrum of the plurality of spectra is associated with a chromatographic retention time and an ion-mobility drift time. The method also includes calculating a model isotopic cluster of a precursor or product ion associated with a candidate compound in the sample, in correspondence to the natural isotopic-abundance ratios of elements composing the compound. The method further includes comparing peaks of the model isotopic cluster to corresponding peaks of an isotopic cluster of one of the experimental mass spectra to extract one or more saturated or interfered peaks of the experimental isotopic cluster, wherein at least one of the peaks of the experimental isotopic cluster is un-saturated and un-interfered.

    Abstract: Techniques for performing data acquisition and analysis are described. A multi-mode acquisition strategy may be performed which iteratively selects mass isolation windows of different sizes in different scan cycles to acquire experimental data. The mass isolation windows selected may provide for acquiring elevated energy scan data for a defined set of m/z values. Single scan data analysis may be performed. Data analysis may include forming precursor charge clusters, chaining precursor charge clusters having the same mass to charge ratio to form peaks profiles, and using criteria to align precursor and product ions of the experimental data. Unsupervised and supervised clustering may be performed using a database and composite ion spectra formed from experimental data. Also described are a small molecule acquisition enhancement and additional techniques applicable for biopharmaceutical and other applications.

    Abstract: A solvent delivery subsystem for a chromatography device performs relatively low pressure, high flow mixing of solvents to form a gradient and subsequent high pressure, low flow delivery of the gradient to the separation column. The mixing of the gradient is independent and does not interfere with the gradient delivery. To form the gradient, the outputs of an aqueous pump and an organic pump are mixed to fill a storage capillary while a downstream point from the storage capillary is vented to atmosphere. After gradient formation, the vent to atmosphere is closed, the solvent delivery system rises to high pressure, and only the aqueous pump runs for gradient delivery. To maintain integrity of the fluid stream, the solvent delivery system uses feed forward compensation and controls at least one parameter selected from the group consisting of pressure and flow in the conduit means to follow a gradual ramp.
