Abstract

Isotopologue identification or removal is a necessary step to reduce the number of features that need to be identified in samples analyzed with non-targeted analysis. Currently available approaches rely on either predicted isotopic patterns or an arbitrary mass tolerance, requiring information on the molecular formula or instrumental error, respectively. Therefore, a Naive Bayes isotopologue classification model was developed that does not depend on any thresholds or molecular formula information. This classification model uses elemental mass defects of six elemental ratios and can successfully identify isotopologues in both theoretical isotopic patterns and wastewater influent samples, outperforming one of the most commonly used approaches (i.e., 1.0033 Da mass difference method - CAMERA).
