Abstract

See full text

Selectivity of a measurement from a mass spectrometer is improved by selecting an extracted ion current window for the measurement after data acquisition. A plurality of mass spectra are acquired over a period of time. A first extracted ion current window is selected and from the plurality of mass spectra a first intensity as a function of time is calculated for an ion using the first extracted ion current window. A second extracted ion current window is selected and from the plurality of mass spectra a second intensity as a function of time is calculated for the ion using the second extracted ion current window. A first signal-to-noise ratio of the first intensity is compared with a second signal-to-noise ratio of the second intensity. If the second signal-to-noise ratio is greater than the first signal-to-noise ratio, the second intensity as a function of time is used for the measurement.
