Key Advances and Supporting Methodology
This grant enabled the modification of a commercial mass spectrometer – a Micromass Q-ToF I (Micromass UK Ltd., Manchester, UK) – to include an ion mobility device prior to the first mass analyser. The instrument was designed such that major functionalities of the original instrument including high sensitivity, good resolution, and its MS/MS capabilities are retained with the advantage of an ion mobility separation prior to MS measurement.
