We describe a mass spectrometry method, QuantMode, which improves accuracy of isobaric tag-based quantification by alleviating the pervasive problem of precursor interference, simultaneous isolation and fragmentation of impurities, through gas-phase purification. QuantMode analysis of a yeast sample 'contaminated' with interfering human peptides showed substantially improved quantitative accuracy compared to a standard scan, with a small loss of spectral identifications. This technique enables l ...[more]
