Abstract
A first mass spectrum and a second mass spectrum of the same ion sample can be analyzed to determine reaction pairs. These reaction pairs are determined based on a selected neutral difference by shifting the second mass spectrum by the neutral difference relative to the first mass spectrum to provide a shifted mass spectrum. Then, the shifted mass spectrum is compared with the first mass spectrum of the ion sample to determine the reaction pairs based on the neutral difference.
