12382 IUPAC Gold Book - deconvoluted mass spectrum 10.1351/goldbook.12382 12382 current 1 Mass spectrum processed with an algorithm designed to extract a desired signal or signals from raw experimental data in which the desired signals have been complicated (convolved) by some interferences or in some other way. Examples of deconvoluted mass spectra include mass spectra corrected for instrumental mass bias, or extraction of spectra for pure components from the spectrum of a mixture, or a mass (not m/z) spectrum of a biopolymer from an electrospray ionization spectrum containing peaks corresponding to several charge states.
