A major challenge in processing of complex data obtained from chromatography hyphenated to mass spectrometry is to resolve chromatographically co-eluting compounds. In this study, we present a workflow for the resolution of ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry data obtained by the broadband data-independent acquisition MSᴱ operation (UHPLCHRMSᴱ). The workflow is based on a recently introduced algorithm for Parallel Factor Analysis 2 (PARAFAC2) that allows to enforce non-negativity on all the model coefficients. The workflow was tested on three sets of UHPLC-HRMSᴱ measurements from a Lupinus angustifolius L. crop field study, which included plant tissue samples, soil samples and samples from drainage water as well as stream water close to the field. The three datasets included 93, 59, and 75 chromatographic runs in total for the plant, soil and water batches, respectively. Nonnegative-PARAFAC2 models were fitted on the summed high and low energy (HE and LE) traces on chromatographic intervals corresponding to spiked standard for the three sample sets independently. In soil and plant samples, 13 out of 14 spiked standards were resolved by NN-PARAFAC2 even in presence of chromatographic co-elution, and their mass spectral loadings could be matched to a reference spectrum. In contrast, only seven spiked standards were correctly resolved and matched for the water samples because a higher chromatographic baseline rendered the data noisier. The results show that the workflow we present can provide improved mass spectral selectivity for data-independent acquisition compared to using the raw mass spectra and can be used to match fragment ions from the HE trace, and precursor and adduct ions from the LE trace even in presence of co-eluting compounds.
