Abstract
One or more known compounds of a sample are ionized using an ion source, producing an ion beam of precursor ions. A tandem mass spectrometer receives the ion beam from the ion source, selects one or more precursor ions from the ion beam using a precursor ion mass selection window, fragments precursor ions within the precursor ion mass selection window, and mass analyzes the resulting product ions, producing an unknown product ion mass spectrum. A library product ion mass spectrum for a known compound is retrieved from a memory. Each peak of the unknown spectrum is analyzed for a potential non-halogen isotopic peak using a processor, and if a potential non-halogen isotopic peak is found, it is removed if it does not have a corresponding peak in the library spectrum.
