Abstract
A method of quantitative mass analysis of precursor ion species of different mass-to-charge (m/z) ratios from the same or common ion injection event is disclosed. A plurality of precursor ion species with different respective m/z ratios are introduced into an ion trap mass analyzer at the same time. The precursor ion species are isolated. A first subset of the isolated precursor ions, which are multiply charged and have a first m/z ratio range, is fragmented and scanned by dividing the scan into at least two separate scan windows. A first mass spectrum is generated for the fragment ions of the first subset of precursor ions. A second subset of the isolated precursor ions having a second m/z ratio is fragmented and scanned, and a second mass spectrum is generated for the fragment ions of the second subset of precursor ions.
