The present invention provides methods for high throughput analysis of
analytes in complex mixtures for unresolved chromatographic peaks
including specific embodiment for summing intensities for each mass
transition of interest over a selected chromatographic peak (50) to
generate a signal corresponding to total intensity for each transition
(55, 60). The intensities are deconvoluted into intensities of individual
analytes (65, 70), based on branching ratios acquired from authentic
standards, and a comparison to calibration curve is performed to obtain a
quantitative concentration measurement of a particular analyte in a
sample.
