The present invention features mass spectrometry data analysis techniques that can be employed to selectively identify analytes differing in abundance between different sample sets. The employed techniques determine the statistical significance of changes to signals associated with mass-to-charge ratios (“m/z-intensity pairs”) between individual samples and sample sets. Based on the statistical significance, changes likely to indicate analyte level differences are identified. Based on intensities of the signals, ratios of analyte abundances can be determined.

A system, method, and computer-readable storage medium configured to facilitate, for example, point-of-sale check approval in real-time. The system converts a demand type payment transaction into a payment card transaction. A cardholder database contains a cardholder record. The cardholder record includes a demand account and payment card information of a cardholder. A network interface receives point-of-service transaction data. A transaction processor correlates the user with the cardholder record, and generates an authorization request message which is sent to an issuer for approval.
