An auxiliary rf waveform of the same amplitude and phase applied to all the rods of an ion accumulation multipole creates an m/z-dependent axial pseudo potential. Controlled decrease of the auxiliary rf amplitude releases ions from the accumulation multipole sequentially from high to low m/z. The slope of the auxiliary rf voltage ramp is adjusted so that ions of different m/z reach the center of the ICR cell at the same time point, which mitigates the typical time dispersion observed in external source FT-ICR and extends the observable mass range for a single data acquisition by 2- to 3-fold. For complex mixture analysis, twice the number of elemental compositions are assigned when the auxiliary rf ejection is applied compared with the standard gated trapping.
In charge detection mass spectrometry (CDMS), ions are passed through a detection tube and the m/z ratio and charge are determined for each ion. The uncertainty in the charge and m/z determinations can be dramatically reduced by embedding the detection tube in an electrostatic linear ion trap (ELIT) so that ions oscillate back and forth through the detection tube. The resulting time domain signal can be analyzed by fast Fourier transforms (FFTs). The ion’s m/z is proportional to the square of the oscillation frequency, and its charge is derived from the FFT magnitude. The ion oscillation frequency is dependent on the physical dimensions of the trap as well as the ion energy. A new ELIT has been designed for CDMS using the central particle method. In the new design, the kinetic energy dependence of the ion oscillation frequency is reduced by an order of magnitude. An order of magnitude reduction in energy dependence should have led to an order of magnitude reduction in the uncertainty of the m/z determination. In practice, a factor of four improvements was achieved. This discrepancy is probably mainly due to the trajectory dependence of the ion oscillation frequency. The new ELIT design uses a duty cycle of 50%. We show that a 50% duty cycle produces the lowest uncertainty in the charge determination. This is due to the absence of even-numbered harmonics in the FFT, which in turn leads to an increase in the magnitude of the peak at the fundamental frequency.
Nineteen impurities in roxithromycin drug substance made in China were separated and identified by HPLC–MSn (TOF and TRAP) for the further improvement of official monographs in Pharmacopoeias. The fragmentation patterns and structural assignment of these impurities were studied. The column was Shim VP-ODS (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase was 10 m mol L−1 ammonium acetate and 0.1 % formic acid aqueous solution-acetonitrile (62.5:37.5). In positive mode, full scan LC–MS was first performed to obtain the m/z value of the protonated molecules and formulas of all detected peaks on Agilent 6538Q TOF high resolution mass spectrometer. LC–MS-MS and LC–MS-MS–MS were then carried out on the compounds of interest on AB SCIEX 4000 Q TRAP™ composite triple quadrupole/linear ion trap tandem mass spectrometer. The complete fragmentation patterns of nineteen impurities were studied and used to obtain information about the structures of these impurities. The structures of nineteen impurities in roxithromycin drug substance were deduced based on the HPLC–MSn data, in which nine impurities were novel impurities.
