ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 25 -- United States Patent no. 12,340,999, issued on June 24, was assigned to Thermo Fisher Scientific (Bremen) GmbH (Bremen, Germany).
"Method for correcting mass spectral data" was invented by Hamish Stewart (Bremen, Germany), Bernd Hagedorn (Bremen, Germany) and Dmitry Grinfeld (Bremen, Germany).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method for correcting mass spectral data obtained for a sample is described, where the mass spectral data is a time-of-flight mass spectral data. The method includes receiving mass spectral data obtained from a sample, the mass spectral data being indicative of an ion abundance. The method further includes applying a correction function to the m...
