Abstract

A method comprises: obtaining, from a series of mass spectra including a most recent mass spectrum and a plurality of previously-acquired mass spectra, an elution profile comprising a plurality of detection points each representing intensity of ions accumulated over an accumulation time and detected by a detector as a function of time; classifying, based on a subset of detection points included in the plurality of detection points, a current signal state of the elution profile; and setting, for a next acquisition of a mass spectrum, the accumulation time based on the classified current signal state of the elution profile.
