ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to the identification of substance ions, which are usually generated by electro spray ionization after separation by liquid chromatography or capillary electrophoresis, with the help of libraries with mass spectra. The substance ions are frequently formed not only in a protonated (or deprotonated) form but also as adducts with cations or anions, a fact which complicates identification. The invention involves making identification more accurate by additionally carrying out a determination of the most probable molar mass with the help of adduct patterns.
