    摘要: Methods for processing spectra are disclosed. The method includes obtaining a plurality of spectra, each spectrum in the plurality of spectra comprising a signal including a signal strength as a function of time-of-flight, mass-to-charge ratio, or a value derived from time-of-flight or mass-to-charge ratio. Then, a signal cluster is formed by clustering signals from the plurality of spectra with time-of-flights, mass-to-charge ratios, or values derived from time-of-flights or mass-to-charge ratios that are within a window that is defined using an expected signal width value.

    摘要: A method and system of detecting mass to charge ratio of ions. The method includes producing charged ions in a vacuum, accelerating the charged ions in an electric field into a free flight tube and detecting the charged ions at a detector associated with the free flight tube. A control system selects a bandwidth for filtering a signal produced by the detector and the signal produced by the detector is then filtered with a variable width digital filter based upon the selected bandwidth. The bandwidth for filtering the signal may be selected from a look-up table within the control system based upon the mass to charge ratio of an ion of interest. Alternatively, a peak bandwidth within the signal produced by the detector may be determined and the signal produced by the detector may then be filtered with the variable width digital filter based upon the determined peak bandwidth.

    摘要: A method for calibrating a time-of-flight mass spectrometer is disclosed. The method includes determining the time-of-flight values, or values derived from the time-of-flight values for a calibration substance at each of a plurality of different addressable locations on a sample substrate. Then, one of the addressable locations on the substrate is identified as a reference addressable location. A plurality correction factors are then calculated for the respective addressable locations on the substrate using the time-of-flight value, or a value derived from the time-of-flight value.
