ETC Webinar Series: Past,Actual & Future Directions of Trapped Ion Mobility Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry

February 21, 2024 - Trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) is a powerful analytical technique that separates and characterizes gas-phase ions based on their mobility in a buffer gas. TIMS has been widely applied in various fields, such as proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, and pharmaceutical research. It offers sensitivity, speed, and resolution for complex and challenging samples. In the first part of this webinar, you will learn about the history of the TIMS research and development, including the chronological launch of the different timsTOF instruments and SW capabilities by Bruker. You’ll learn about the differences and similarities of the timsTOF instruments, the possible upgrade paths and software options. In the webinar, you will also learn about the different data-independent acquisition (DIA) mass spectrometry methods currently used in proteomics and how new approaches benefit from the additional ion mobility dimension and new acquisition modes. Finally, in the third part of this webinar, you will learn about some of the future approaches that are currently under development for the TIMS technique, such as TIMS gas phase fractionation and filtering. This is a novel setup that uses two or three TIMS analyzers in a row to separate and isolate different regions of the m/z vs 1/K0 space. This can increase the selectivity and sensitivity of the TIMS technique, and improve applications and workflows especially for heterogeneous proteomics samples. You will see how these methods work, and what are the advantages and challenges of implementing it.

Why Size Matters: Revolutionizing Protein and Peptide Detection with Ion Mobility


January 24, 2024. Protein identification is of fundamental importance in many areas of proteomics. Its applications include determining the presence or absence of an expected protein in a sample of interest, identifying an unknown protein present in a biological sample, and identifying a protein responsible for biochemical activity in an isolated protein fraction. In some cases, mass spectrometry or affinity-based methods may be suitable options, but these methods can face substantial challenges. Scientists need the ability to identify and measure peptide modifications, structures, and impurities more definitively and faster. Driven by structures for lossless ion manipulation (SLIM) technology, the MOBIE® instrument’s high-resolution ion mobility mass spectrometry platform separates and identifies the most challenging molecules with unprecedented resolution without compromising speed. By combining the MOBIE® platform’s high-resolution ion mobility mass spectrometry (HRIM-MS) data with liquid chromatography, more accurate separation and identification of impurities and posttranslational modifications (PTMs) can be achieved, reducing run times and costs.
