Ion mobility separation mass spectrometry (IMS MS) combines separation of ions based on their rotationally averaged cross section (i.e. shape), charge and mass. This is a powerful analytical technique that can be used to provide crucial and unique information on molecular shape and structure, including isomeric structure, and molecular interactions. The Waters SELECT SERIES Cyclic IMS MS (cIMS MS) represents a step-change in instrument performance and capability. This new technology has recently been installed in our purpose-built laboratory.
Encouraged by our recent results, we seek to develop the scope and utility of multi-stage ion mobility tandem MS techniques for the structural elucidation of small and medium sized molecules to deliver key information (e.g. molecular identity, structure, quantity etc) from the direct analysis of complex mixtures.
