Iterative accumulation multiplexing Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry.

ABSTRACT: A multiplexed tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) technique known as iterative accumulation multiplexing (IAM) has been implemented on a hybrid quadrupole Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer (Q-FTICR-MS). The IAM experiment resulted in obtaining MS/MS spectra for six analytes in two MS/MS experiments while characteristic resolving power and mass measurement accuracies were maintained. Parent-product ion correlations were graphically represented in a "ratiogram" where each product ion is encoded with a ratio unique to the parent ion from which it was formed. This is the first example of multiplexed MS on a FTICR instrument where the ions are encoded externally to the ICR cell. By performing the encoding external to the ICR cell, one set of ions can be encoded while the previous set of ions is being analyzed in the cell, maximizing the use of the continuous ion current emanating from the electrospray ionization source.

Project description:Metabolomics is an interdisciplinary field that aims to study all metabolites < 1500 Da that are ubiquitously found within all organisms. Metabolomics is experiencing exponential growth and commonly relies on high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS) is a form of HRMS that is particularly well suited for metabolomics research due to its exceptionally high resolution (105-106) and sensitivity with a mass accuracy in parts per billion (ppb). In this regard, FT-ICR-MS can provide valuable insights into the metabolomics analysis of complex biological systems due to unique capabilities such as the easy separation of isobaric and isomeric species, isotopic fine structure analysis, spatial resolution of metabolites in cells and tissues, and a high confidence (<1 ppm mass error) in metabolite identification. Alternatively, the large and complex data sets, long acquisition times, high cost, and limited access mainly through national mass spectrometry facilities may impede the routine adoption of FT-ICR-MS by metabolomics researchers. This review examines recent applications of FT-ICR-MS metabolomics in the search for clinical and non-human biomarkers; for the analysis of food, beverage, and environmental samples; and for the high-resolution imaging of tissues and other biological samples. We provide recent examples of metabolomics studies that highlight the advantages of FT-ICR-MS for the detailed and reliable characterization of the metabolome. Additionally, we offer some practical considerations for implementing FT-ICR-MS into a research program by providing a list of FT-ICR-MS facilities and by identifying different high-throughput interfaces, varieties of sample types, analysis methods (e.g., van Krevelen diagrams, Kendrick mass defect plot, etc.), and sample preparation and handling protocols used in FT-ICR-MS experiments. Overall, FT-ICR-MS holds great promise as a vital research tool for advancing metabolomics investigations.
