Logical Operations in Mass Spectrometry
Researchers at Purdue University have developed a new methodology for operating a mass spectrometer that provides efficient routes from the large block of MS/MS data to answer particular structural questions. It is a major conceptual extension of MS/MS that allows experiments which explore the 3-dimensional data domain of MS/MS. Only data space relevant to the question is explored, minimizing time and ion utilization. This methodology is particularly valuable for ion traps and miniature in situ mass spectrometers, but the concepts could readily be extended to other types of mass spectrometers including triple quadrupoles.
