    Abstract: Methods for correlating a product ion in a mass spectrum to a precursor ion are disclosed herein, comprising determining a precursor ion ml z corresponding to the product ion as an m/z at which the product ion appears in a maximum amount of the series of mass spectra. Methods also can comprise obtaining a series of mass spectra for a sample across a mass range, each of the series of mass spectra having a precursor ion transmission window defined by a width (W) that overlaps with that of at least two of the series of mass spectra by a step size (S).

    Abstract: The technology relates to systems and methods for performing mass spectrometry analysis of a sample. An example method may include receiving, as input via an input device, a target mass-to-charge (m/z) ratio for a fragment ion of interest; setting a target m/z range based on the target m/z ratio; ionizing the sample to generate precursor ions; fragmenting the precursor ions to generate fragment ions having a range of mass-to-charge ratios larger than the target m/z range; accelerating the fragment ions to a detector such that fragment ions inside and outside of the target m/z ratio are detected; summing a count of fragment ions within the target m/z range without storing ion counts for fragment ions outside of the target m/z range; and storing the summed ion count as corresponding with the target mass-to-charge ratio.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for dynamically switching an ion guide and a TOF mass analyzer between concentrating or not concentrating ions in a targeted acquisition. Product ions are ejected from the ion guide into the TOF mass analyzer and the intensity of a known product ion is measured at two or more time steps. The ion guide initially ejects product ions using a sequential or Zeno pulsing mode that concentrates product ions with different m/z values within the TOF mass analyzer at the same time. If the intensity of the product ion is increasing and greater than a threshold intensity, the ion guide switches to a continuous or normal pulsing mode that does not concentrate ions with different m/z values in the TOF mass analyzer at the same time. Similarly, if the intensity decreases below a threshold in continuous mode, the ion guide switches back to sequential mode.
