    摘要: A method comprises: (1) making an extract of a biological sample; (2) repeatedly: (a) choosing a respective one of a plurality of pre-determined protein or polypeptide analyte compounds; (b) introducing a portion of the extract into an electrospray ionization source, thereby generating positive ions comprising a plurality of ion species; (c) isolating a plurality of subsets of the ion species comprising respective mass-to-charge (m/z) ratio ranges, each range including an m/z ratio corresponding to a respective protonation state of the chosen compound; (d) reacting the isolated plurality of subsets of first-generation ion species with proton transfer reaction reagent anions for a pre-determined time duration; (e) generating a mass spectrum of the product ion species; and (g) identifying either the presence or absence of the compound based on the mass spectrum; and (3) identifying the presence or absence of the microorganism within the sample based on analytes present.

    摘要: A method for mass spectral analysis of a sample containing a plurality of biomolecule species comprises: (a) mass analyzing a plurality of first-generation ion species generated from a sample portion; (b) automatically recognizing, for each of at least one biomolecule species, a respective subset of m/z ratios corresponding to respective first-generation ion species generated from the each biomolecule species; (c) selecting, from each recognized subset, a single representative m/z ratio; (d) isolating a sub-population of ions having each representative m/z ratio from ions having other m/z ratios; and (e) fragmenting each isolated sub-population of ions so as to generate second-generation ion species.

    摘要: A method for mass spectral analysis of a sample containing a plurality of intact protein molecule species comprises: (a) mass analyzing a plurality of ion species generated from a sample portion; (b) automatically recognizing, for each of at least one intact protein molecule species, a respective subset of m/z ratios corresponding to ion species generated from the each intact protein molecule species; and (c) storing or reporting to a user information relating to each subset of the m/z ratios, wherein step (b) comprises: automatically assigning a tentative charge state to each above-threshold m/z ratio; automatically adjusting the tentative charge to achieve a set of self-consistent assigned charge states; and decomposing the assigned charge states into analyte-specific clusters, each analyte-specific cluster being a one of the subsets of the m/z ratios.

    摘要: The present disclosure establishes new dissociation parameters that may be used to determine the collision energy (CE) needed to achieve a desired extent of dissociation for a given analyte precursor ion using collision cell type collision-induced dissociation. This selection is based solely on the analyte precursor ion's molecular weight, MW, and charge state, z. Metrics are proposed that may be used as a parameter for the “extent of dissociation”, and then predictive models are developed of the CEs required to achieve a range of values for each metric. Each model is a simple smooth function of only MW and z of the precursor ion. Coupled with a real-time spectral deconvolution (m/z to mass) algorithm, methods in accordance with the invention enable control over the extent of dissociation through automated, real-time selection of collision energy in a precursor-dependent manner.
