Separation of ?-Amyloid Tryptic Peptide Species with Isomerized and Racemized l-Aspartic Residues with Ion Mobility in Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulations.

ABSTRACT: Accumulation of ?-amyloid (A?) is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. The deposition of ?-amyloid plaques is likely to start years in advance of manifestation of clinical symptoms, although the exact timing is unknown. Over the years, A? peptides undergo both post-translational modification and stereoisomerization. Analysis of the resulting stereoisomers is particularly challenging because of their identical elemental composition and similar physicochemical properties. Herein, we have utilized our recently developed structures for lossless ion manipulations ion mobility-mass spectrometry platform (SLIM IM-MS), in conjunction with serpentine ultralong path with extended routing (SUPER), to baseline resolve four distinct sets of A?17-28 tryptic peptide epimers on a rapid (?1 s) time scale. We discovered that sodium adduct ions, [M + H + Na]2+, allowed baseline SLIM SUPER IM resolution for all A? epimer sets assessed, while such baseline separations were unachievable for their [M + 2H]2+ doubly protonated ions.

A Miniature Multilevel Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulations Ion Mobility Spectrometer with Wide Mobility Range Separation Capabilities.

Project description:Ion mobility spectrometry employing structures for lossless ion manipulations (SLIM-IMS) is an attractive gas-phase separation technique due to its ability to achieve unprecedented effective ion path lengths (>1 km) and IMS resolving powers in a small footprint. The emergence of multilevel SLIM technology, where ions are transferred between vertically stacked SLIM electrode surfaces, has subsequently allowed for ultralong single-pass path lengths (>40 m) to be achieved, enabling ultrahigh resolution IMS measurements to be performed over the entire mobility range in a single experiment. Here, we report on the development of a 1 m path length miniature SLIM module (miniSLIM) based on multilevel SLIM technology. Ion trajectory simulations were used to optimize SLIM board spacings and SLIM board thicknesses, and a new method of efficiently transferring ions between SLIM levels using asymmetric traveling waves (TWs) was demonstrated. We experimentally characterized the performance of the miniSLIM IMS-MS relative to a drift tube IMS-MS using Agilent tuning mixture cations and tetraalkylammonium cations. The miniSLIM achieved a resolving power of up to 131 (CCS/ΔCCS), which is ∼1.5× higher than achievable with a 78 cm path length drift tube IMS. Additionally, the entire ion mobility range was successfully transmitted in a single separation. We also demonstrated the miniSLIM's performance as a standalone IMS system (i.e., without MS), which showed baseline separation between all AgTM cations and a clear differentiation between different charge states of a standard peptide mixture. Overall, the miniSLIM provides a compact alternative to high performance IMS instruments possessing similar path lengths.

Mobility-Selected Ion Trapping and Enrichment Using Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulations.

Project description:The integration of ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) with mass spectrometry (MS) and the ability to trap ions in IMS-MS measurements is of great importance for performing reactions, accumulating ions, and increasing analytical measurement sensitivity. The development of Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulations (SLIM) offers the potential for ion manipulations in an extended and more effective manner, while opening opportunities for many more complex sequences of manipulations. Here, we demonstrate an ion separation and trapping module and a method based upon SLIM that consists of a linear mobility ion drift region, a switch/tee and a trapping region that allows the isolation and accumulation of mobility-separated species. The operation and optimization of the SLIM switch/tee and trap are described and demonstrated for the enrichment of the low abundance ions. A linear improvement in ion intensity was observed with the number of trapping/accumulation events using the SLIM trap, illustrating its potential for enhancing the sensitivity of low abundance or targeted species.

Characterization of Traveling Wave Ion Mobility Separations in Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulations.

Project description:We report on the development and characterization of a traveling wave (TW)-based Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulations (TW-SLIM) module for ion mobility separations (IMS). The TW-SLIM module uses parallel arrays of rf electrodes on two closely spaced surfaces for ion confinement, where the rf electrodes are separated by arrays of short electrodes, and using these TWs can be created to drive ion motion. In this initial work, TWs are created by the dynamic application of dc potentials. The capabilities of the TW-SLIM module for efficient ion confinement, lossless ion transport, and ion mobility separations at different rf and TW parameters are reported. The TW-SLIM module is shown to transmit a wide mass range of ions (m/z 200-2500) utilizing a confining rf waveform (∼1 MHz and ∼300 Vp-p) and low TW amplitudes (<20 V). Additionally, the short TW-SLIM module achieved resolutions comparable to existing commercially available low pressure IMS platforms and an ion mobility peak capacity of ∼32 for TW speeds of <210 m/s. TW-SLIM performance was characterized over a wide range of rf and TW parameters and demonstrated robust performance. The combined attributes of the flexible design and low voltage requirements for the TW-SLIM module provide a basis for devices capable of much higher resolution and more complex ion manipulations.

A Hybrid Constant and Oscillatory Field Ion Mobility Analyzer Using Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulations.

Project description:Here we explore the combination of constant and oscillatory fields applied in a single device to affect the continuous separation and filtering of ions based on their mobilities. The device explored allows confining and manipulating ions utilizing a combination of radio frequency (rf), direct current (DC) fields, and traveling waves (TW) in a structures for lossless ion manipulations (SLIM) module. We have investigated theoretically and experimentally a concept for continuous filtering of ions based on their mobilities where ions are mobility separated and selected by passage through two regions, both of which incorporated combined TW and constant fields providing opposing forces on the ions. The SLIM module was composed of two surfaces with mirror-image arrays of electrodes and had two regions where the different TW and opposing DC fields could be applied. The filtering capabilities are determined by the applied DC gradient and the TW parameters, such as speed, amplitude, and the TW sequence (i.e., the duty cycle of the traveling wave). The effects of different parameters on the sensitivity and the ion mobility (IM) resolution of the device have been investigated. By appropriately choosing the DC gradient and TW parameters for the two sections, it is possible to transmit ions of a selected mobility while filtering out others of both higher and lower mobility. The novel device described here provides a basis for the targeted analysis of compounds based upon the continuous selection of ions according to their mobility and without the need for high electric fields or pulsed injection.

We have demonstrated the potential of this platform as a future component of the glycomics toolbox.

Evaluation of Waveform Profiles for Traveling Wave Ion Mobility Separations in Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulations.

Project description:Structures for lossless ion manipulations (SLIM) have recently enabled a powerful implementation of traveling wave ion mobility spectrometry (TWIMS) for ultrahigh resolution separations; however, experimental parameters have not been optimized, and potential significant gains may be feasible. Most TWIMS separations have utilized square-shaped waveforms applied by time-dependent voltage stepping across repeating sets of electrodes, but alternative waveforms may provide further improvements to resolution. Here, we characterize five waveforms (including square and sine) in terms of their transmission efficiency, IMS resolution, and resolving power, and explore the effects of TW amplitude and speed on the performance of each. We found, consistent with previous work, separations were generally improved with higher TW amplitudes, moderately improved by lower speeds (limited by ion "surfing" with the waves), and found decreases in signal intensity at the extremes of operating conditions. The triangle and asymmetric "ramp forward" shaped profiles were found to provide modestly greater resolution and resolving power, an observation we tentatively attribute to their relatively uniform fields and minimal low-field regions.

Rapid Ion Mobility Separations of Bile Acid Isomers Using Cyclodextrin Adducts and Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulations.

Project description:Bile acids (BAs) constitute an important class of steroid metabolites often displaying changes associated with disease states and other health conditions. Current analyses for these structurally similar compounds are limited by a lack of sensitivity and long separation times with often poor isomeric resolution. To overcome these challenges and provide rapid analyses for the BA isomers, we utilized cyclodextrin adducts in conjunction with novel ion mobility (IM) separation capabilities provided by structures for lossless ion manipulations (SLIM). Cyclodextrin was found to interact with both the tauro- and glyco-conjugated BA isomers studied, forming rigid noncovalent host-guest inclusion complexes. Without the use of cyclodextrin adducts, the BA isomers were found to be nearly identical in their respective mobilities and thus unable to be baseline resolved. Each separation of the cyclodextrin-bile acid host-guest inclusion complex was performed in less than 1 s, providing a much more rapid alternative to current liquid chromatography-based separations. SLIM provided capabilities for the accumulation of larger ion populations and IM peak compression that resulted in much higher resolution separations and increased signal intensities for the BA isomers studied.

Greatly Increasing Trapped Ion Populations for Mobility Separations Using Traveling Waves in Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulations.

Project description:The initial use of traveling waves (TW) for ion mobility (IM) separations using structures for lossless ion manipulations (SLIM) employed an ion funnel trap (IFT) to accumulate ions from a continuous electrospray ionization source and was limited to injected ion populations of ∼106 charges due to the onset of space charge effects in the trapping region. Additional limitations arise due to the loss of resolution for the injection of ions over longer periods, such as in extended pulses. In this work a new SLIM "flat funnel" (FF) module has been developed and demonstrated to enable the accumulation of much larger ion populations and their injection for IM separations. Ion current measurements indicate a capacity of ∼3.2 × 108 charges for the extended trapping volume, over an order of magnitude greater than that of the IFT. The orthogonal ion injection into a funnel shaped separation region can greatly reduce space charge effects during the initial IM separation stage, and the gradually reduced width of the path allows the ion packet to be increasingly compressed in the lateral dimension as the separation progresses, allowing efficient transmission through conductance limits or compatibility with subsequent ion manipulations. This work examined the TW, rf, and dc confining field SLIM parameters involved in ion accumulation, injection, transmission, and IM separation in the FF module using both direct ion current and MS measurements. Wide m/z range ion transmission is demonstrated, along with significant increases in the signal-to-noise ratios (S/N) due to the larger ion populations injected. Additionally, we observed a reduction in the chemical background, which was attributed to more efficient desolvation of solvent related clusters over the extended ion accumulation periods. The TW SLIM FF IM module is anticipated to be especially effective as a front end for long path SLIM IM separation modules.

Squeezing of Ion Populations and Peaks in Traveling Wave Ion Mobility Separations and Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulations Using Compression Ratio Ion Mobility Programming.

Project description:In this work we report an approach for spatial and temporal gas-phase ion population manipulation, wherein we collapse ion distributions in ion mobility (IM) separations into tighter packets providing higher sensitivity measurements in conjunction with mass spectrometry (MS). We do this for ions moving from a conventional traveling wave (TW)-driven region to a region where the TW is intermittently halted or "stuttered". This approach causes the ion packets spanning a number of TW-created traveling traps (TT) to be redistributed into fewer TT, resulting in spatial compression. The degree of spatial compression is controllable and determined by the ratio of stationary time of the TW in the second region to its moving time. This compression ratio ion mobility programming (CRIMP) approach has been implemented using "structures for lossless ion manipulations" (SLIM) in conjunction with MS. CRIMP with the SLIM-MS platform is shown to provide increased peak intensities, reduced peak widths, and improved signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios with MS detection. CRIMP also provides a foundation for extremely long path length and multipass IM separations in SLIM providing greatly enhanced IM resolution by reducing the detrimental effects of diffusional peak broadening and increasing peak widths.

Mobility-resolved ion selection in uniform drift field ion mobility spectrometry/mass spectrometry: dynamic switching in structures for lossless ion manipulations.

Project description:A Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulations (SLIM) module that allows ion mobility separations and the switching of ions between alternative drift paths is described. The SLIM switch component has a "Tee" configuration and allows the efficient switching of ions between a linear path and a 90-degree bend. By controlling switching times, ions can be efficiently directed to an alternative channel as a function of their mobilities. In the initial evaluation the switch is used in a static mode and shown compatible with high performance ion mobility separations at 4 Torr. In the dynamic mode, we show that mobility-selected ions can be switched into the alternative channel, and that various ion species can be independently selected based on their mobilities for time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF MS) IMS detection and mass analysis. This development also provides the basis of, for example, the selection of specific mobilities for storage and accumulation, and the key component of modules for the assembly of SLIM devices enabling much more complex sequences of ion manipulations.
