Coupling of capillary electrophoresis with electrospray ionization multiplexing ion mobility spectrometry

In this work, ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) function as a detector and another dimension of separation was coupled with CE to achieve two‐dimensional separation. To improve the performance of hyphenated CE‐IMS instrument, electrospray ionization correlation ion mobility spectrometry is evaluated and compared with traditional signal averaging data acquisition method using tetraalkylammonium bromide compounds. The effect of various parameters on the separation including sample introduction, sheath fluid of CE and drift gas, data acquisition method of IMS were investigated. The experimental result shows that the optimal conditions are as follows: hydrodynamic sample injection method, the electrophoresis voltage is 10 kilo volts, 5 mmol/L ammonium acetate buffer solution containing 80% acetonitrile as both the background electrolyte and the electrospray ionization sheath fluid, the ESI liquid flow rate is 4.5 μL/min, the drift voltage is 10.5 kilo volts, the drift gas temperature is 383 K and the drift gas flow rate is 300 mL/min. Under the above conditions, the mixture standards of seven tetraalkylammoniums can be completely separated within 10 min both by CE and IMS. The linear range was 5–250 μg/mL, with LOD of 0.152, 0.204, 0.277, 0.382, 0.466, 0.623 and 0.892 μg/mL, respectively. Compared with traditional capillary electrophoresis detection methods, the developed CE‐ESI‐IMS method not only provide two sets of qualitative parameters including electrophoresis migration time and ion drift time, ion mobility spectrometer can also provide an additional dimension of separation and could apply to the detection ultra‐violet transparent compounds or none fluorescent compounds.     

Development of an ion mobility spectrometer for use in an atmospheric pressure ionization ion mobility spectrometer/mass spectrometer instrument for fast screening analysis

An ion mobility spectrometer that can easily be installed as an intermediate component between a commercial triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer and its original atmospheric pressure ionization (API) sources was developed. The curtain gas from the mass spectrometer is also used as the ion mobility spectrometer drift gas. The design of the ion mobility spectrometer allows reasonably fast installation (about 1 h), and thus the ion mobility spectrometer can be considered as an accessory of the mass spectrometer. The ion mobility spectrometer module can also be used as an independently operated device when equipped with a Faraday cup detector. The drift tube of the ion mobility spectrometer module consists of inlet, desolvation, drift, and extraction regions. The desolvation, drift and extraction regions are separated by ion gates. The inlet region has the shape of a stainless steel cup equipped with a small orifice. Ion mobility spectrometer drift gas is introduced through a curtain gas line from an original flange of the mass spectrometer. After passing through the drift tube, the drift gas serves as a curtain gas for the ion-sampling orifice of the ion mobility spectrometer before entering the ion source. Counterflow of the drift gas improves evaporation of the solvent from the electrosprayed sample. Drift gas is pumped away from the ion source through the original exhaust orifice of the ion source. Initial characterization of the ion mobility spectrometer device includes determination of resolving power values for a selected set of test compounds, separation of a simple mixture, and comparison of the sensitivity of the electrospray ionization ion mobility spectrometry/mass spectrometry (ESI-IMS/MS) mode with that of the ESI-MS mode. A resolving power of 80 was measured for 2,6-di-tert-butylpyridine in a 333 V/cm drift field at room temperature and with a 0.2 ms ion gate opening time. The resolving power was shown to be dependent on drift gas flow rate for all studied ion gate opening times. Resolving power improved as the drift gas flow increased, e.g. at a 0.5 ms gate opening time, a resolving power of 31 was obtained with a 0.65 L/min flow rate and 47 with a 1.3 L/min flow rate for tetrabutylammonium iodide. The measured limits of detection with ESI-MS and with ESI-IMS/MS modes were similar, demonstrating that signal losses in the IMS device are minimal when it is operated in a continuous flow mode. Based on these preliminary results, the IMS/MS instrument is anticipated to have potential for fast screening analysis that can be applied, for example, in environmental and drug analysis.

Ion mobility spectrometry detection for gas chromatography

The hyphenated analytical method in which ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) is coupled to gas chromatography (GC) provides a versatile alternative for the sensitive and selective detection of compounds after chromatographic separation. Providing compound selectivity by measuring unique gas phase mobilities of characteristic analyte ions, the separation and detection process of gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) can be divided into five individual steps: sample introduction, compound separation, ion generation, ion separation and ion detection. The significant advantage of a GC-IMS detection is that the resulting interface can be tuned to monitor drift times/ion mobilities (as a mass spectrometer (MS) can be tuned to monitor ion masses) of interest, thereby tailoring response characteristics to fit the need of a given separation problem. Because IMS separates ions based on mobilities rather than mass, selective detection among compounds of the same mass but different structures are possible. The most successful application of GC-IMS to date has been in the international space station. With the introduction of two-dimensional gas chromatography (2D-GC), and a second type of mobility detector, namely differential mobility spectrometry (DMS), GC prior to mobility measurements can now produce four-dimensional analytical information. Complex mixtures in difficult matrices can now be analyzed. This review article is intended to provide an overview of the GC-IMS/DMS technique, recent developments, significant applications, and future directions of the technique.     

Gas-phase separation using a trapped ion mobility spectrometer

In the present work we describe the principles of operation, versatility and applicability of a trapped ion mobility spectrometer (TIMS) analyzer for fast, gas-phase separation of molecular ions based on their size-to-charge ratio. Mobility-based separation using a TIMS device is shown for a series for isobar pairs. In a TIMS device, mobility resolution depends on the bath gas velocity and analysis scan speed, with the particularity that the mobility separation can be easily tuned from low to high resolution (R?>?50) in accordance with the analytical challenge . In contrast to traditional drift tube IMS analyzer, a TIMS device can be easily integrated in a mass spectrometer without a noticeable loss in ion transmission or sensitivity, thus providing a powerful separation platform prior to mass analysis.

Optimum collision energies for proteomics: The impact of ion mobility separation

Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) is a widespread separation technique used in various research fields. It can be coupled to liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) methods providing an additional separation dimension. During IMS, ions are subjected to multiple collisions with buffer gas, which may cause significant ion heating. The present project addresses this phenomenon from the bottom-up proteomics point of view. We performed LC–MS/MS measurements on a cyclic ion mobility mass spectrometer with varied collision energy (CE) settings both with and without IMS. We investigated the CE dependence of identification score, using Byonic search engine, for more than 1000 tryptic peptides from HeLa digest standard. We determined the optimal CE values—giving the highest identification score—for both setups (i.e., with and without IMS). Results show that lower CE is advantageous when IMS separation is applied, by 6.3 V on average. This value belongs to the one-cycle separation configuration, and multiple cycles may supposedly have even larger impact. The effect of IMS is also reflected in the trends of optimal CE values versus m/z functions. The parameters suggested by the manufacturer were found to be almost optimal for the setup without IMS; on the other hand, they are obviously too high with IMS. Practical consideration on setting up a mass spectrometric platform hyphenated to IMS is also presented. Furthermore, the two CID (collision induced dissociation) fragmentation cells of the instrument—located before and after the IMS cell—were also compared, and we found that CE adjustment is needed when the trap cell is used for activation instead of the transfer cell. Data have been deposited in the MassIVE repository (MSV000090944).

Expanded theory for the resolving power of a linear ion mobility spectrometer

An expanded theory for the resolving power of a linear ion mobility spectrometer (IMS) is derived. By definition, the resolving power is directly proportional to the total drift time for the ion through the drift tube divided by the full-width-at-half-height (FWHH) of the observed ion mobility peak. Two approaches to theoretically estimating these two parameters are possible, depending on the operating parameters of the IMS cell. The drift time is given by the first moment of the IMS response. If the electric fields (assumed uniform) are equal in both the shutter/aperture and aperture/collector region, the FWHH is given by a difference in error functions. If the electric fields (again assumed uniform) are not equal, the FWHH is given by the second central moment of the IMS response and can only be known to within a multiplicative factor. The effectiveness of these two approaches is demonstrated using IMS data from the published literature.The additional peak broadening often observed in a linear IMS has several possible sources. One depends on the construction of the cell and the parallelism (or lack thereof) that might exist between the aperture grid and ion collector. Another depends on electric fields used to bias the cell. If the electric field in the aperture/collector region is less than in the shutter/aperture region, peak broadening occurs. Induction effects in the aperture/collector region not only shorten drift times, but also create diffusion-like broadening of the peak. Shortening the distance between the aperture grid and ion collector, or using a higher electric field in that region, minimizes induction effects. Drift time calibration requires adjustments for induction effects.     

Mobility resolution and mass analysis of ions from ammonia and hydrazine complexes with ketones formed in air at ambient pressure

Protonated ammonia and hydrazines (MH(+)) form complexes with ketones and the differences in masses and mobilities of the resulting ions, MH(+)(ketone)(n), are sufficient for separation in an ion mobility spectrometer at ambient pressure. The highest mass ion for any of the protonated molecules is obtained when the ketone is present at elevated concentrations in the supporting atmosphere of both the source and drift regions of the spectrometer so that an ion maintains a discrete composition and mobility. The sizes of the ion-molecule complexes were found to depend on the number of H atoms on the protonated nitrogen atom--four for ammonia, three for hydrazine, two for monomethylhydrazine, and one for 1,1-dimethylhydrazine, and the drift times of these ions were proportional to the size of the ion-molecule complex. Unexpected side products, including protonated hydrazones and azines, and associated ketone clusters, were isolated to a single drift tube containing ceramic parts and could not, from CID studies, be attributed to gas-phase ion chemistry. These findings illustrate that mobility resolution of ions in IMS and IMS/MS experiments can be enhanced through chemical modification of the supporting gas atmosphere without changes in the core ion.
