ABSTRACT:
A method for determining the masses of ions of a sample that contains a known class of biopolymers and is measured with a mass spectrometer having a statistical or pseudo-statistical error distribution includes acquiring a mass spectrum of ions of biopolymers of the known class in the sample in which mass spectrum the mass values of ions of biopolymers from the known class are concentrated in known distributions around a set of most probable mass values. At least one measured mass value of the mass spectrum is replaced by that one of a set of most probable mass values that is nearest to the measured mass value, or by a weighted average of the measured mass value averaged with that one of the set of most probable mass values that is nearest to the measured mass value.
