A method for non-targeted complex sample analysis which involves the following steps. A first step involves providing a data base containing identifying data of known molecules. A second step involves introducing a complex sample containing multiple unidentified molecules into a Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Mass Spectrometer to obtain data regarding the molecules in the complex sample. A third step involves comparing the collected data regarding the molecules in the complex sample with the identifying data of known molecules in order to arrive at an identification through comparison of molecules in the sample.
