Hello,
For my targeted methods in lipidomics I am at the lower limit of dwell times for instrument. Exact data acquisition windows would be very beneficia but can be difficult to set for a big MRM table this could be solved (if it is not already):
- having a reference sample run before each new sample set (can be split over several injection if needed)
- Peaks are integrated over the retention time that I wish to use for my data acquisition. If there is a wide (double peak) i will use wider integration window.
- A scheduled method is then exported that use the integration window, set by me dragging under the chromatogram.
This would allow me to very quickly set optimal scheduled MRM data acquisition every time a run a new batch. Currently there is the feature use measured RT with a fixed time window around the RT but I would like the feature use integrated RT to allow different windows (widths) for different compounds.
A work around is to export Start Time and End Time in the document, write a script that calculates the explicit retention time and explicit retention time window based on these. Explicit times can be used for the export method :-)
