Abstract:
A method of analysing ions is disclosed comprising performing an initial multi-dimensional survey scan comprising separating parent ions according to a first physico-chemical property and separating the parent ions according to a second physico-chemical property. At least one parent ion of interest from the initial multi-dimensional survey scan is determined, the at least one parent ion of interest having a first value or range of the first physico-chemical property and a second value or range of the second physico-chemical property. Then, during a subsequent single cycle of separation, the method further comprises separating parent ions according to the first physico-chemical property. If the parent ions have a value or range of the first physico-chemical property which corresponds with the first value or range, then the method further comprises selecting parent ions of interest having a value or range of the first physico-chemical property which corresponds with the first value or range and which also have a value or range of the second physico-chemical property which corresponds with the second value or range. If the parent ions have a value or range of the first physico-chemical property which does not correspond with the first value or range then the method further comprises separating the parent ions according to the first physico-chemical property and separating the parent ions according to the second physico-chemical property.

Claim (Index 15):
An analytical instrument for analysing ions comprising:\n a separator for separating ions according to a first physico-chemical property; a fragmentation, reaction or collision device for fragmenting or reacting ions; an analyser; and a control system arranged and adapted: (i) to perform an initial multi-dimensional survey scan comprising separating parent ions according to said first physico-chemical property using said separator and separating said parent ions according to said second physico-chemical property; (ii) to determine at least one parent ion of interest from said initial multi-dimensional survey scan, each said at least one parent ion of interest having a value or range of said first physico-chemical property and a value or range of said second physico-chemical property; wherein the control system is arranged and adapted to determine said at least one parent ion of interest from said initial multi-dimensional survey scan by:\n determining at least a first parent ion of interest and a second parent ion of interest from said initial multi-dimensional survey scan, said first parent ion of interest having a first value or range of said first physico-chemical property and a second value or range of said second physico-chemical property, said second parent ion of interest having a third value or range of said first physico-chemical property and a fourth value or range of said second physico-chemical property; \n and then: (iii) to cause said separator to separate parent ions according to said first physico-chemical property in a single cycle of separation, and during said single cycle of separation: (iv) to cause said fragmentation, reaction or collision device to fragment or react parent ions having a value or range of said first physico-chemical property corresponding to said first value or range and having a value or range of said second physico-chemical property corresponding to said second value or range so as to form first fragment or product ions, and to cause said analyser to analyse said first fragment or product; and (v) to cause said fragmentation, reaction or collision device to fragment or react parent ions having a value or range of said first physico-chemical property corresponding to said third value or range and having a value or range of said second physico-chemical property corresponding to said fourth value or range so as to form second fragment or product ions, and to cause said analyser to analyse said second fragment or product ions.
