Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for identifying detectable compounds of a sample. Sample product ion spectra are received for each mass selection window of precursor mass selection windows for each time step. The received sample product ion spectra are searched for the presence of known compounds of interest with known product ion spectra by retrieving a known product ion spectrum from a library, retrieving the sample product ion spectra corresponding to the precursor mass selection window expected to contain a precursor ion corresponding to the known product ion spectrum, generating product ion traces in time for the retrieved sample product ion spectra, calculating a score for the product ion traces and the retrieved sample product ion spectra that represents how well the retrieved sample product ion spectra and the known product ion spectrum match, and confirming the identity of a precursor ion using the score.
