Performance Enhancements in Differential Ion Mobility Spectrometry-Mass Spectrometry (DMS-MS) by Using a Modified CaptiveSpray Source.
Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry 2018 November
Differential ion mobility spectrometry (DMS) spatially separates ions in the gas phase using the mobility differences of the ions under applied low and high electric fields. The use of DMS as an ion filter (or ion selector) prior to mass spectrometry analysis has been compromised by the limited ion transmission efficiency. This paper reports enhancement of the DMS-MS sensitivity and signal stability using a modified CaptiveSpray™ source. In terms of the ion sampling and transmission efficiency, the modified CaptiveSpray source swept ~ 89% of the ions generated by the tapered capillary through the DMS device (compared to ~ 10% with a conventional microspray source). The signal fluctuation improved from 11.7% (relative standard deviation, RSD) with microspray DMS-MS to 3.6% using CaptiveSpray-DMS-MS. Coupling of LC to DMS-MS via the modified CaptiveSpray source was simple and robust. Using DMS as a noise-filtering device, LC-DMS-MS performed better than conventional LC-MS for analyzing a BSA digest standard. Although LC-DMS-MS had a lower sequence coverage (55%), a higher Mascot score (283) was obtained compared to those of LC-MS (sequence coverage 65%; Mascot score 192) under the same elution conditions. The improvement in the confidence of the search result was attributed to the preferential elimination of noise ions. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.
