Abstract

A method of mass spectrometry is disclosed comprising: a step () of analysing a reference compound in a first mass spectrometer and outputting mass spectral data in response thereto; a step () of analysing the reference compound in a second, different mass spectrometer and outputting mass spectral data in response thereto; and a step () of automatically adjusting an operational parameter, duty cycle (e.g. duty cycle of data acquisition), or acquired spectral data of at least one mass spectrometer such that, for the same (given) consumption of reference compound by the spectrometer, the statistical precision of quantification (the number of detected ions) and/or of mass measurement (the mass resolution) by the mass spectrometer is substantially the same as that of the other mass spectrometer. A similar method of ion mobility spectrometry is disclosed.
