Abstract

A mass spectrometer and method of mass spectrometry are disclosed wherein two separate samples are mass analysed and then the relative intensity, concentration or expression level of one or more components, molecules or analytes in a first sample is quantitated relative to the intensity, concentration or expression level of one or more components, molecules or analytes in a second sample. The relative quantitation is performed probabilistically without the need to resort to using internal calibrants.
