Travelling Wave Ion Mobility Studies of Polymer Microstructure Jim Scrivens
Challenges in characterising polymer formulations • Extremely complex mixtures • Variation of starting materials • Poorly controlled reactions • Molecular weight range • Sold on properties not structure • Chromatographic separation difficult
Requirement • Rapid analysis • High information content • Molecular weight and structural information • Ability to differentiate small differences in complex formulations
Ion mobility platforms • Drift cell • Currently predominately academic based • Differential mobility spectroscopy (DMS) • Includes FAIMS • Theory challenging • Travelling wave • Commercially available • Theory challenging
Ion mobility issues • Sensitivity • Speed • Selectivity • Ease of use • Resolution • Availability • Information content • Reproducibility • Calibration • Cost • Data analysis

Features of Synapt • Ease of use • Rapid analysis (typically 200 spectra in 18ms) • High sensitivity (fmole) • Can acquire MS, MS/MS with accurate mass data • Estimated relative cross-sections can be obtained by use of calibration against known standards
Aspirations • Higher mobility resolution • Better dynamic range • Higher resolution mass spectrometry • No compromise in: - • Sensitivity • Speed • Ease of use
TOF developments • QuanTof improvements • High field pusher • Dual stage reflectron • Hybrid ion detection system • compatible with UPLC separations • compatible with HDMS analysis • Performance • Resolution – over 40,000 FWHM • Mass Measurement – 1ppm RMS • Dynamic Range – up to 105 • Speed - 20 Spectra/sec
Mobility Cell improvements • Second generation Triwave device • Increased ion mobility resolution (over 40 Ω/ΔΩ) • IMS cell 40% longer • Higher gas pressure in IMS T-Wave (2.5mb versus 0.5mb) • Modified T-Wave pattern - use ofHigher T-Wave pulse amplitudes/fields • Helium cell balances N2 pressure inMaximizes transmission of ions on entry into the mobility cell
