Abstract
Trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) using parallel accumulation serial fragmentation (PASEF®) is an advanced analytical technique that offers several advantages in mass spectrometry (MS)-based lipidomics. TIMS provides an additional dimension of separation to mass spectrometry and accurate collision cross-section (CCS) measurements for ions, aiding in the structural characterization of molecules. This is especially valuable in lipidomics for identifying and distinguishing isomeric or structurally similar compounds. On the other hand, PASEF technology allows for fast and efficient data acquisition by accumulating ions in parallel and then serially fragmenting them. This accelerates the analysis process and improves throughput, making it suitable for high-throughput applications. Moreover, the combination of TIMS and PASEF reduces co-elution and ion coalescence issues, leading to cleaner and more interpretable mass spectra. This results in higher data quality and more confident iden...
