US Patent Issued to DH TECHNOLOGIES DEVELOPMENT on Sept. 16 for "Effective use of multiple charge states" (Canadian Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 17 -- United States Patent no. 12,417,904, issued on Sept. 16, was assigned to DH TECHNOLOGIES DEVELOPMENT PTE. LTD. (Singapore).

"Effective use of multiple charge states" was invented by Lyle Lorrence Burton (Woodbridge, Canada) and Eva Duchoslav (Toronto).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "At least one molecule is ionized and a mass spectrometer mass analyzes an m/z range, producing an m/z mass spectrum. A range of N sequential charge states is received. A copy of the m/z mass spectrum is created for each of the N charge states, producing N m/z spectra. Each spectrum of the N spectra is converted to a neutral mass mass spectrum using a different charge state of the N charg...
