Systems and methods are disclosed for analyzing a sample using overlapping precursor isolation windows. A mass analyzer of a tandem mass spectrometer is instructed to select and fragment at least two overlapping precursor isolation windows across a precursor ion mass range of a sample using a processor. The tandem mass spectrometer includes a mass analyzer that allows overlapping precursor isolation windows across the mass range of the sample.

Data independent acquisition of product ion spectra and reference spectra library matching

Methods for peptide and/or protein quantification by mass spectrometry using labeled peptides, wherein multiple labels lead to distinct fragments for the labeled peptides and their unlabeled variant, thus facilitating data analysis and enhancing the potential for quantification. Methods for selecting the label and label position are further given, as well as sets of labeled peptides resulting from or for use in the above-mentioned methods. The methods and substances are especially useful for data-independent or multiplexed parallel reaction monitoring proteomics applications involving peptide quantification.

Labelled compounds and methods for mass spectrometry-based quantification

A method of the analysis of compounds with mass spectrometry and to instruments, substances, and methods for polypeptide analysis, in particular in targeted proteomics applications and based on indexed retention times as peptide specific property. The method of chemical analysis comprises the steps of: a) providing a first sample comprising peptides; b) performing LC-MS and determining the empirical retention time values of the peptides; c) translating the empirical retention time values into the indexed retention time scale and associating a reference indexed retention time value; d) providing a second complex sample comprising peptides; e) performing LC-MS and determining the empirical retention time values; f) translating the empirical retention time values of the peptides into the indexed retention time scale by numerically adapting the transformation function; and g) determining the predicted empirical retention time value of the peptides by using the numerically adapted transformation function determined in step f).

Methods and systems for experimental set-up and data analysis in targeted proteomics applications

Systems and methods are disclosed for quantitating detectable compounds of a sample. Sample product ion spectra are received for each mass selection window for each time step. The received sample product ion spectra are searched for the presence of known compounds of interest with known product ion spectra by retrieving the known product ion spectra from a library, retrieving the sample product ion spectra corresponding to the precursor mass selection window expected to contain a precursor ion corresponding to the known product ion spectra, generating product ion traces in time for the sample product ion spectra for the known product ion spectra, calculating a score for the product ion traces and product ion spectra that represents how well known product ions and sample product ions match, and calculating a quantitative value for the known compound from the product ion traces when the score exceeds a threshold value.

Systems and methods are used to store an electronic record of all product ion spectra of all detectable compounds of a sample. A plurality of product ion scans are performed on a tandem mass spectrometer one or more times in a single sample analysis across a mass range using a plurality of mass selection windows. All sample product ion spectra of all detectable compounds for each mass selection window are produced. All sample product ion spectra for each mass selection window are received from the tandem mass spectrometer using a processor. All sample product ion spectra for each mass selection window are stored as an electronic record of all detectable compounds of the sample using the processor. The electronic record is used to characterize compounds known at the time the electronic record is stored or to characterize compounds that became known after the electronic record was stored.
