INTRODUCTION
The average duty cycle of Time of Flight analysers is dependant on the m/z data acquisition range but the integration of travelling wave ion mobility separation (TWIMS) devices in QToF geometries can afford significant duty cycle improvements.
When Ion Mobility is utilised in the Synapt G2-Si Mass Spectrometer (Figure 1), the instrument can be operated in Wideband Enhancement (WE) mode (Figure 2), where the pusher is synchronised with the pusher delay time, this being related to the drift time of species passing through the TWIMS.
The Mass Spectrometer can be programmed to optimise this parameter for a specific charge state over the entire mass range. The Wideband Enhancement mode of operation can give five to ten times increase in sensitivity over the entire mass range for the chosen charge state, resulting from a duty cycle improvement from an average of 15% to approximately 89%.
In this poster, we describe the use of Wideband Enhancement mode applied to peptide fragment ions in both non-targeted and targeted proteomics experiments. The increase in sensitivity leads to significant improvements in MSMS data quality and hence protein identification rates. In addition, the increased sensitivity extends the limit of detection in ToF MRM experiments.

CONCLUSION
Ion mobility enabled Q ToF operated in
Wideband Enhancement mode improves
the duty cycle of the instrument to
approximately 89%.
The increase in signal intensity thus
afforded by this duty cycle improvement
leads to an increase in confident protein
identifications in non targeted
experiments.
Good overlap of HD-DDA protein
identifications is found when compared
to equivalent loads of ToF-DDA and
HDMSE experiments.
The use of the Wideband Enhancement
mode in ToF MRM experiments extends
the limit of detection.

RESULTS

Mass Spectrometer. Ion Mobility Separation is performed in the TriWave region of the instrument. Figure 9. Dilution series for the separation by a 30minute

limit of detection was at least 5amol for the IGDYAGIK and EALDFFAR peptides, and higher for the less intense

OVERVIEW
ToF analyser ‘Wideband Enhancement’
mode gives sensitivity increases of 5—
10 fold.
Spectral data quality improvement in
Ion Mobility Data Directed Analysis
experiments leads to increased
protein / peptide identification rates.
Sensitivity increase extends the limit of
detection in ToF MRM experiments.
Figure 2a. Wideband Enhancement mode step 1. Ions
(represented by the red and blue lines) leave the Trap T-Wave device and enter the Ion Mobility Separator, and are separated
according to mass, shape and size.
Figure 2b. Wideband Enhancement mode step 2. The Ions
have a transit time through the Transfer T-Wave and optics towards the pusher region, whilst maintaining separation.
Figure 2c. Wideband Enhancement mode step 3. Each of the
ions are then subject to a synchronised pulse, leading to a duty cycle of approximately 89%, compared to around 15% in
the deactivated case.
Figure 3. Wideband Enhancement Calibration. M/z vs. drift
time of data acquired from partial Trap fragmentation of GFP shows distinct bands of singly and multiply charged species.
The singly charged band was selected for calibration.
