Abstract
Ion mobility (IM) spectrometry can separate gas-phase ions according to their charge, molecular shape, and size. In recent years, several IM technologies have been integrated with mass spectrometry (MS) and launched as commercially available instrumentation for metabolomics analysis. The addition of IM to MS-based metabolomics workflows provides an additional degree of separation to chromatography and MS resolving power, improving peak capacity and signal-to-noise ratio. Moreover, it makes possible to experimentally derive collision cross section (CCS), which can be used as an additional coordinate for metabolite identification, together with accurate mass and fragmentation information. The addition of CCS to current metabolome database would allow to filter and score molecules based on their CCS values, adding more confidence in the identification process during metabolomics experiments.
In this chapter, we present procedures for the integration of travelling-wave (TW)-IM into traditional MS-based metabolomics workflows.
