Abstract
The present invention discloses methods for deconvolving and converting 1D mass spectra to 2D mass spectrum in order to obtain migration time centers and total intensities of the neutral mass envelopes of 2D spectra. The present invention also discloses devices that include a preparation/separation unit coupled to a mass spectrometer unit, and a computer unit capable of deconvolving mass spectra and calculating neutral mass envelopes.
