Error warning in creating dMRM method by MassHunter

Hello everyone.
I am new here, and right from the start, I would like to ask for your help. As a newcomer to LC-MS, I have been tasked with developing a method for determining PFAS. After creating the MRM method, it was time to create dynamic MRM since I am analyzing 20 PFAS analytes whose retention times often overlap. However, while automatically generating the dMRM method using the MassHunter software from Agilent, I encountered an error warning "Quant cannot process the selected data file or the Quant result file has been deteled. The missing Quant report: D:/PFAS/Vyvoj/....". I haven´t delete any files from there. The software found all the analytes, and there are no unknown peaks. It just didn’t find three transitions for PFDS, PFHxS, and PFTrDS, specifically from their precursor to the product ion 99, which they all share. Can you please advise me on where the error might be and how I can correctly create the dMRM method using the automatic function?

  • Hello m4esti. Thank you for your answer.

    I cannot open the data even in Quant Mass Hunter. It seems as if they were never generated, yet they are displayed in the Qualifier, and when searching for MRM transitions, it finds all of them. Therefore I don´t understand why it shows absolutely nothing when I generate the batch. in the attached photo u can see the data in the Qualifier.
