A new tile-based pairwise analysis workflow, termed 1v1 analysis, is presented to discover and identify analytes that differentiate two chromatograms collected using comprehensive two-dimensional (2D) gas chromatography coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC-TOFMS). Tile-based 1v1 analysis easily discovered all 18 non-native analytes spiked in diesel fuel within the top 30 hits, outperforming standard pairwise chromatographic analyses. However, eight spiked analytes could not be identified with multivariate curve resolution-alternating least-squares (MCR-ALS) nor parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) due to background contamination. Analyte identification was achieved with class comparison enabled-mass spectrum purification (CCE-MSP), which obtains a pure analyte spectrum by normalizing the spectra to an interferent mass channel ( |
