Method for the identification of molecular changes between homologous rows of analytes of a first sample and of a second sample different from the first sample, analyzed by using untargeted LC MS/MS experiments. The method comprises the following steps: i) identifying analytes and isotope patterns in the samples; ii) annotating said analytes, by using a spectral library, rule-based annotation or simulations; iii) calculating the change of intensity of each annotated analyte, preferably as the binary logarithm of such a ratio; iv) sorting the data of the analytes as a function of said at least one repeating structural feature and thereby identifying analytes with differential behavior within homologous rows of analytes in said samples ; v) scheduling a targeted LC MS/MS of the first and/or the second sample for the identified analytes.

The first electrolyte and the second electrolyte are immiscible with each other. The first electrolyte has a first density, and the second electrolyte has a second density, wherein the first density is higher than the second density. The first electrolyte forms a bottom phase (7) within the reaction chamber (100) and the second electrolyte forms a top phase (8) within the reaction chamber (100). The top phase (8) lies on top of the bottom phase (7), the top phase (8) and the bottom phase (7) forming a liquid interface (9) between them and the top phase (8) and the bottom phase (7) flow in horizontal direction through the reaction chamber (100). The reaction chamber (100) comprises at least one outlet (120, 121) through which the bottom phase (7) and the top phase (7) can exit the reaction chamber (100) and enter the tank. The tank is a separation tank (2) for separating the bottom phase (7) from the top phase (8) by gravity.

A reaction chamber of a membrane-less redox flow battery comprises a bottom phase (7) of a first electrolyte having a first density and a top phase (8) of a second electrolyte having a second density, the first and second electrolytes being immiscible with each other.
