Steps
3 Set up a qualitative method to
integrate and extract product ion
spectra.
• Use the data files
SulfamixPI_xx.d, where xx is
the collision energy, or your own
data files, iiiSulfamixPI_xx.d.
• Open Method Explorer and
Method Editor.
• Use TICs set up for MS/MS,
product ion and each of the
precursor ions 271, 279, 285,
311.
• Make sure the MS/MS
integrator has been selected and
the maximum number of peaks
has been limited to the largest
100 peaks.
• Add the ability to integrate and
extract peak spectra to the file
actions run upon data opening.
• Save the changes to the current
method.
