Abstract: | A modified internal lock-mass calibration method is introduced for improving the mass measurement accuracy of the product ion spectra derived from sustained off-resonance irradiation collision-induced dissociation (SORI-CID) Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometry. This method involves an initial external calibration of the Fourier transform mass spectrometer to obtain the initial A- and B-terms for the equation (f(i) = A/(m/z)(i) + B). The A-term is adjusted by using an empirical relationship between the up-shift of the A-term and the pulse-gas duration, whereas the B-term is adjusted by using the mass of the unfragmented precursor ion from the SORI-CID mass spectrum of the unknown sample as internal lock-mass. These adjusted A- and B-terms are then used to provide exact mass SORI-CID calibration for the unknown sample. The modified internal lock-mass method achieved average mass measurement accuracy of approximately 3 ppm which is significantly better than that of the conventional internal lock-mass calibration ( approximately 9 ppm) and is approaching that of the internal calibration ( approximately 2 ppm) and requires no addition of internal calibrant or instrumental modifications. |
