Abstract
A method of data-independent mass spectrometric analysis of compounds of a compound class of interest comprises: determining or retrieving a distribution, over a mass-to-charge (m/z) ratio range of interest, of a number of primary ion species of members of said compound class having m/z ratios within each respective one of a plurality of m/z sub-ranges of the m/z ratio range of interest; defining m/z positions of a set consisting of a number, n, of finite-width bins, within the m/z ratio range of interest, the set of bins excluding m/z sub-ranges within the m/z ratio range of interest that encompass fewer than a threshold number, t, of the primary ion species, wherein the defining based on the determined or received distribution; and performing a plurality of tandem mass analyses, each tandem mass analysis pertaining to primary ion species within a respective one of the defined bins.
