Methods: Thermo Scientific™ Orbitrap Fusion™ Tribrid™ mass spectrometer with the Thermo Scientific™ EASY-ETD™ ion source. Performing the ETD reaction in cation precursor population to the reagent anion species can independent trapping (CSIT) a number of cation precursor ch function of the space charge c Figure 2 shows the potentials injection events and the relativ Purpose: Improve ETD Signal to Noise (S/N) ratio and scan duty cycle. Results: Developed a methodology incorporating multiple fills of ETD products into a storage cell followed by a single m/z analysis leading to improved...

FIGURE 6. Comparison of the Angiotensin I ETD c and z ion fragment TIC for an up to 8-fills ETD approach versus a single fill. The multiple fill data was taken at three individual precursor targets per fill corresponding to 1e4 (blue squares), 5e4 (red circles), and 1e5 (green triangles) charges/fill. erved at high precursor ditions. b) Fragment yield and y ion formation. ea vs. Precursor Target .

nd z ion fragment TIC for an multiple fill data was taken at ding to 1e4 (blue squares), fill. The geometry of the Orbitrap Fusion Tribrid MS in conjunction with it’s ability to run scans in a parallel/pipelined fashion affords a significant decrease in scan acquisition time per spectrum for the multiple fills approach (Figure 8) as the ETD fills are run in parallel with OT m/z analysis. FIGURE 8. Scan acquisition time per spectrum for the ETD multiple fills experiment and the uScans approach taken at a variety of Orbitrap transient durations.
