Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method of processing mass spectral data comprising making direct calibration measurements to determine a calibration shift of the mass spectrometry instrument at a calibration time and determining a set of intrinsic ion species that persist across multiple acquisition periods. The direct calibration measurements are then used together with an expected variation in calibration shift as well as the set of intrinsic ion species to calculate the calibration shift of the mass spectrometry instrument at one or more time point(s) of interest other than the calibration time.
