Abstract:
A system for analyzing a sample includes a source configured to generate ions from constituent components of the sample; a mobility separator configured to separate ions received from the source based on the mobility in a gas; a plurality of ion channels arranged adjacent to the plurality of exit apertures of the mobility separator such that ions from the mobility separator are directed to different channels according to their respective mobility; a mass analyzer configured to determine the mass-to-charge ratio of the ions; and a controller. The controller is configured to identify retention time windows with minimum overlap of ions with similar mobility and sets of ions within the retention time windows; adjust mobility separation parameters for specific sets of ions to optimize separation of compounds; and quantify a plurality of target analytes.

Claim (Index 12):
A method for analyzing components of a sample comprising:\n identify retention time windows with minimum overlap of ions with similar mobility that would at least partially be directed to a same ion channel and sets of ions within the retention time windows; determining mobility separation parameters for the sets of ions to direct a range of ion mobilities encompassing target ions within the set of ions into the ion channels; providing a sample to an ion source and generating a plurality of ions from constituent components of the sample; separating a first set of ions of the plurality of ions based on ion mobility using an ion mobility separator using parameters for the first set of ions; directing the ions into a plurality of ion channels such that ions entering an individual ion channel have a range of ion mobilities that is different from a range of ion mobilities for ions entering an adjacent ion channel; analyzing ions from the first set of ions from individual ion channels in a mass analyzer; adjusting the ion mobility separator using parameters for a second set of ions; separating a second set of ions of the plurality of ions based on ion mobility using the mobility separator; directing the ions into the plurality of ion channels; analyzing ions of the second set of ions from individual ion channels in the mass analyzer; and determining the mass-to-charge ratio and quantifying ions of the first and second sets of ions using the mass analyzer.
