Abstract:
The invention relates to methods for the detailed analysis of ion mixtures from complex mixtures of organic substances in time-of-flight mass spectrometers which are equipped with a trapped ion mobility spectrometer, a quadrupole mass selector and a fragmentation cell. The invention proposes to analyze ion signals of a first mass mobility map, fragment ion spectra and the identifications of the associated substances as to whether ion mixtures not resolved according to mass and mobility, for example from isomers or isobars, are possibly present, and to subsequently measure the ion signals of interest with method parameters which allow the ion species to be measured separately by means of high mobility resolution.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for analyzing a substance mixture in a mass spectrometer which comprises a trapped ion mobility separator and a time-of-flight analyzer, wherein a first mass-mobility map is acquired, comprising the steps:\n (a) selecting an ion signal of interest in the first mass-mobility map and examining the selected ion signal of interest as to whether it is a superposition of signals from different ion species which are not sufficiently resolved according to mass or mobility, and (b) acquiring a second mass-mobility map wherein at least one parameter of the trapped ion mobility separator is changed such that the region around the ion signal of interest is measured in the second map with a higher mobility resolution and/or a higher mobility accuracy compared to the first map.
