摘要:
A method, apparatus, and computer-readable storage medium for analyzing component separation/mass spectrometer data for a sample having known characteristic includes analyzing reference ion data for a relationship between ion mass, retention time, and intensity. The analyzed data is added to a repository, wherein each ion therein has an intensity maxima within a characteristic retention time range for a characteristic ion mass. If the reference ion is in the repository, the range is modified according to the characteristic retention time of the reference ion intensity maxima. Based on the known characteristic, an ion expected in the sample is selected from the repository, and sample data is compared to data for the ion selected from the repository to determine whether the ion is present in the sample. The range in the repository is then modified according to the characteristic retention time of the intensity maxima for the ion present in the sample.

A method for determining in a sample, by mass spectrometry, the presence, absence, or amount of one or more analytes is described herein. The run time is less than six minutes. The method includes subjecting the sample to an ionization source under conditions suitable to produce one or more ions detectable by mass spectrometry from each of the one or more analytes, wherein the one or more analytes are derivatized prior to ionization; measuring, in a single injection, by mass spectrometry, the amount of the one or more ions from each of the one or more analytes; and using the measured amount of the one or more ions to determine the amount of each of the one or more analytes in the sample.
摘要:
A method is provided for analyzing metabolite data in a sample, comprising analyzing a sample to determine a first number of metabolites, and amount of each metabolite, included in the sample, and a second number of the first number of metabolites that are regulated. Biochemical pathways are determined, each having a third number of the first number of metabolites that are included in the sample and in the determined biochemical pathway. For each of the determined biochemical pathways having the third number of metabolites, a fourth number of the second number of metabolites that are included in the sample and in the determined biochemical pathway that are regulated metabolites is determined. Each of the third number of metabolites within one of the determined biochemical pathways is displayed and distinguished by the amount of each corresponding metabolite included in the sample. An associated apparatus and computer program product are also provided.
