    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for timed introduction of samples into a mass spectrometer may include receiving a plurality of sample ion pulses in a mass spectrometer from a sampling interface, where the sample ion pulses are received at a pre-determined time pattern; detecting the received sample ion pulses to generate a signal; isolating an analyte signal by signal conditioning the generated signal based on the pre-determined time pattern; and identifying a presence of an analyte based on the isolated analyte signal. The signal conditioning may include pulse-based averaging based on the pre-determined time pattern or may include converting the generated signal to a frequency-domain signal and calculating a modulus to isolate the analyte signal. The pre-determined time pattern may be periodic where the signal conditioning comprises performing a Fourier Transform on the signal to convert it to a frequency-domain signal.
