An approach for detecting polymers and polymer fragments by analyzing mass analysis data of mixtures that include labeled versions of the polymers is disclosed. A library of polymer fragments is generated based on the possible fragments of a parent polymer. For each fragment in the library, a theoretical mass for both a natural version and a labeled version is generated. The labeled version may be based on a heavier isotoope of an element. Data from a mass analysis, such as a mass spectrographic analysis, is received and automatically analyzed to identify whether a mass doublet is observed for each fragment in the library. The mass doublets correspond to the mass peaks of the natural and labeled versions of the fragments in the library. A determination is made whether a particular mass peak is from a labeled parent polymer or whether the particular mass peak is from an unlabeled source.

La présente invention concerne une technique permettant de détecter des polymères et des fragments de polymère par l'analyse de masse de données d'analyse de mélanges qui comprennent des versions marquées de ces polymères. On génère une bibliothèque de fragments de polymères fondée sur des fragments possibles d'un polymère parent. On génère pour chaque fragment de cette bibliothèque une masse théorique pour une version naturelle et pour une version marquée. La version marquée peut être fondée sur un isotope plus lourd d'un élément. Des données d'une analyse de masse telle qu'une analyse spectrographique de masse, sont reçues et analysées automatiquement de façon à identifier si on observe un doublet de masse pour chaque fragment de la bibliothèque. Les doublets de masse correspondent aux pics de masse des versions naturelles et des versions marquées des fragments de cette bibliothèque. On détermine si un pic de masse particulier provient d'un polymère parent marqué ou d'une source non marquée.
