Abstract: A method of controlling the operation of an ion mobility separation device is disclosed. The method comprises displaying to a user via a user interface a pool of modes of operation of the ion mobility separation device, wherein each one of the modes is selectable by the user for inclusion in an experiment, and the modes are displayed in a first area 202 of the user interface. The method comprises receiving, via the user interface, an indication from the user of a selection of one or more instance of each one of a plurality of the modes from the pool to be included in an experiment, and an indication from the user of a set of one or more parameters for controlling the ion mobility separation device in respect of one or more selected instances of a mode. The selected instances of modes are displayed in a sequence in a second area 204 of the user interface. The operation of the ion mobility separation device is controlled in accordance with the received indications.

Abstract: A method of identifying and/or characterising ions comprises separating analyte ions according to a first physico-chemical property (ion-mobility), selecting first ions of the analyte ions, and activating, fragmenting or reacting the first ions to produce first product ions, separating the first product ions according to the first physico-chemical property, and determining a pattern of the first product ions. The first ions are identified and/or characterised using the pattern of the first product ions.

Abstract: A method of analysing ions comprises separating ions according to a first physico-chemical property by passing the ions through an ion separation device, and measuring the transit time of an ion through the ion separation device. The method further comprises detecting the ion using a charge-resolving ion detector so as to determine the charge of the ion, and using the transit time and the charge of the ion to determine a second physico-chemical property of the ion.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of mass spectrometry that use charge reduction techniques to reduce the average charge of the ions to increase the mass to charge ratio spacings between different charge states for the ion species prior to mass analysis. In embodiments there is disclosed a method for determining a collision cross section for an ion species, wherein an ion mobility is determined for an ion species in a first state without charge reduction and the mass to charge ratios for the ion species are then measured in a second, charge-reduced state. The average charge determined for the ion species in the first state is then used together with the average mass determined from the ion species in the second state and the ion mobility determined for the ion species in the first state to determine a collision cross section for the ion species in the first state.

Abstract: A method of analysing high-mass (>1 MDa) particles comprises ionising particles to as to produce ions, separating the ions according to mass to charge ratio by passing the ions through an ion separation device in which one or more time-varying electric fields is used to urge ions through a gas such that ions are separated according to mass to charge ratio, measuring the transit time of the ions through the ion separation device, and determining a drift time or mass to charge ratio distribution of the ions therefrom. The method further comprises identifying one or more charge envelopes in the drift time or mass to charge ratio distribution, and using the one or more charge envelopes to characterise the particles.
