Abstract

Implementation of orthogonal double resonance precursor and neutral loss scans on the Mini 12 miniature rectilinear ion trap mass spectrometer is described, and performance is compared to that of a commercial Thermo linear trap quadropole (LTQ) linear ion trap. The ac frequency scan version of the technique at constant rf voltage is used here because it is operationally much simpler to implement. Remarkably, the Mini 12 shows up to two orders of magnitude higher sensitivity compared to that of the LTQ. Resolution on the LTQ is better than unit at scan speeds of ~ 400 Th/s, whereas peak widths on the Mini 12, on average, range from 0.5 to 2.0 Th full width at half maximum and depend heavily on the precursor ion Mathieu q parameter as well as the pump down time that precedes the mass scan. Both sensitivity and resolution are maximized under higher pressure conditions (short pump down time) on the Mini 12. The effective mass range of the product ion ejection waveform was found to be 5.8 Th on the Mini 12 in the precursor ion scan mode vs. that of 3.9 Th on the LTQ. In the neutral loss scan mode, the product ion selectivity was between 8 and 11 Th on the Mini 12 and between 7 and 8 Th on the LTQ. The effects of nonlinear resonance lines on the Mini 12 were also explored. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 17. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 June 2018.
All research outputs
#2,125,249
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry
#68
of 3,835 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#45,382
of 351,846 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry
#3
of 73 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 91st percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,835 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 98% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 351,846 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 73 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 95% of its contemporaries.
