Abstract

Concerted tandem and traveling wave ion mobility mass spectrometry (CTS analysis) is a unique method that results in a four-dimensional data set including nominal precursor ion mass, product ion mobility, accurate mass of product ion, and ion abundance. This nontargeted lipidomics CTS approach was applied in both positive- and negative-ion mode to phospholipids present in human serum, and the data set was used to evaluate the value of product ion mobility in identifying lipids in a complex mixture. It was determined that the combination of diagnostic product ions and unique collisional cross-section values of product ions is a powerful tool in the structural identification of lipids in a complex biological sample.
