1. A method of performing mass spectrometry, comprising:
obtaining, based on a series of mass spectra of detected ions derived from components eluting from a chromatography column, an elution profile comprising a plurality of detection points representing intensity of the detected ions as a function of time; and
determining, based on a set of detection points included in the plurality of detection points, a predicted next detection point of the elution profile to be obtained based on a next mass spectrum to be acquired.
