Evaluating Ion Accumulation and Storage in Traveling Wave Based Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulations.

ABSTRACT: Structures for lossless ion manipulations (SLIM) technology has demonstrated high resolving power ion mobility separation and flexibility to integrate complex ion manipulations into a single experimental platform. To enable IMS separations, trapping/accumulating ions inside SLIM (or in-SLIM) prior to injection of a packet for separations provides ease of operation and reduces the need for dedicated ion traps external to SLIM. To fully characterize the ion accumulation process, we have evaluated the effect of TW amplitudes, ion collection times, and storage times on the "in-SLIM" accumulation process. The study utilized a SLIM module comprising 5 distinct tracks, each with a specific ion accumulation configuration. The effect of the TW conditions on the accumulation process was investigated
