Abstract
19
Collision cross section (CCS, Ω) values determined by ion mobility mass spectrometry (IM-
20
MS) provide the study of ion shape in the gas phase and use of these as further identification
21
criteria in analytical approaches. Databases of CCS values for a variety of molecules
22
determined by different instrument types are available. In this study, the comparability of
23
CCS values determined by a drift tube ion mobility mass spectrometer (DTIM-MS) and a
24
traveling wave ion mobility mass spectrometer (TWIM-MS) was investigated to test if a
25
common database could be used across IM techniques. A total of 124 substances were
26
measured with both systems and CCS values of [M+H]+ and [M+Na]+ adducts were
27
compared. Deviations < 1% were found for most substances but some compounds show
28
deviations up to 6.2%, which indicate that CCS databases cannot be used without care
29
independently from the instrument type. Additionally, it was found that for several molecules
30
[2M+Na]+ ions were formed during electrospray ionization whereas a part of them
31
disintegrates to [M+Na]+ ions after passing through the drift tube and before reaching the
32
TOF region, resulting in two signals in their drift spectrum for the [M+Na]+ adduct. Finally, the
33
impact of different LC-IM-MS settings (solvent composition, solvent flow rate, desolvation
34
temperature and desolvation gas flow rate) were investigated to test whether they have an
35
influence on the CCS values or not. The results showed that these conditions have no
36
significant impact. Only for karbutilate changes in the drift spectrum could be observed with
37
different solvent types and flow rates using the DTIM-MS system, which could be caused by
38
the protonation at different sites in the molecule.

Introduction
40
The coupling of ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) with mass spectrometry (MS) has raised high
41
interest in analytical chemistry over the last decade [1]. This comprehensive analytical set-up
42
separates gas-phase ions in the ion mobility cell under the influence of a weak electric field
43
and by collisions with a neutral drift gas (typically N2 or He) within a millisecond timescale.
44
Especially the combination with time of flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) allows the
45
detection of compounds separated by ion mobility and describing each peak with enough
46
data points because of the high scan rate where mass to charge ratios (m/z) of ions are
47
recorded in a microsecond scale. One advantage of ion mobility-mass spectrometers is the
48
determination of collision cross section (CCS, Ω) values which are based on the shape of
49
gas-phase ions. CCS is defined as the average area around an ion at three dimensional
50
rotation in which the center of another particle must be in order for a collision to occur [2].
51
CCS values depend on the shape, size and charge of the analyzed ion, as well as on the
52
used drift gas and experimental settings. In complex sample analysis with LC-IM-MS [3,4] or
53
GC-IM-MS [5] techniques, CCS values are useful as further identification criterion in addition
54
to retention time, m/z, isotopic pattern and mass fragments. However, currently this is limited
55
by the availability of only small CCS databases for different applications like proteomics,
56
lipidomics, metabolomics, analysis of pesticides or other small molecules [6-13]. In MS2
57
experiments a further advantage of the IM-MS coupling is the background filtering of
58
interfering signals in data-independent acquisition mode to obtain all ion fragmentation. With
59
this type of acquisition mode interfering ions often generate a MS2 spectrum which makes
60
the interpretation of these enormously difficult. Through the additional IM cell in front of the
61
mass analyzer, ions (also isobaric ions) can be distinguished and MS2 spectra are cleaned
62
up by drift time filtering. This increases peak capacity and selectivity [12]. In addition to
63
differential mobility mass spectrometry (DMS) and high-field asymmetric ion mobility
64
spectrometry (FAIMS) [2], which are helpful in target-analysis, also IMS systems with high
65
potential in non-target analysis are available. The first coupled traveling wave ion mobility
66
spectrometer with a Q-TOF-MS (TWIM-MS) was commercially available as Synapt System
67
from Waters Corporation in 2006 [14]. In 2014, a drift tube ion mobility Q-TOF-MS (DTIM-
68
MS) was released by Agilent technologies [15]. Recently, a trapped ion mobility Q-TOF-MS
69
system (TIMS-TOF) was made commercially available by Bruker Daltonics [16].
70
In DTIM-MS, a static uniform electric field (typically 5-100 Vcm-1) is applied in a tube filled
71
with drift gas at reduced pressure (3.95 Torr). Ions move through the tube in direction of the
72
electric field and are decelerated by collisions with the drift gas. Ions with a compact
73
structure travel faster through the tube than ions with more extended structures, because
74
they interact less with the drift gas. The individual ions reach a characteristic constant drift 3 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

velocity (vd) which is determined by vd = L/td (L= length of the tube, td = drift time) [17]. Is the
76
ratio of the electric field strength (E) to the buffer gas number density (N) smaller than 2x10-17
77
Vcm2 (low-field limit), vd is proportional to the mobility constant K (eq 1) [18-20].
78
v = KE
79
In consideration of standard temperature (273 K) and pressure (760 Torr), the reduced
80
mobility (K0) is determined by eq 2.

K =
82
The proportionality of the drift time of an ion to its CCS is given by the Mason-Schamp
83
equation (eq 3) [18].
84
Ω =
85
Herein, z is the charge state, e the elementary charge, kb the Boltzmann constant, T the
86
temperature in the drift tube, mI the mass of the analyte ion and mB the mass of a drift gas
87
molecule. The measured drift time equals the time it takes for the ions to pass from the
88
entrance of the drift tube to the detector. This is composed of the true drift time td, which the
89
ion needs to pass through the drift tube, and the time tfix, in which the ion passes through the
90
further optics of the instrument to the detector. Therefore, a correction must be carried out,
91
which can be performed using the stepped field method or single field method [21]. For the
92
stepped field method, the analyte is injected several times. For each injection the voltage at
93
the entrance of the drift tube (U1) is varied, resulting in different electric field strengths (eq 4).
94
E =
95
Herein, ∆U is the difference of the voltages at the entrance (U1) and at the exit (U2) of the
96
drift tube. Initially, the total drift time is determined for the analyte ion. From measurements at
97
several (at least two) different electric field strengths, tfix can be determined by plotting the
98
total drift time against 1/∆U. For each measurement, the true drift time td is calculated as the
99
difference between the total drift time and tfix.

With the single field method, the calculation of the CCS values can be determined directly
101
from the drift time, measured at only one single field strength using a CCS standard mix
102
which contains substances of known CCS values. Plotting these CCS values against the
103
obtained drift times results in a straight line with the following equation (eq 5), which can be
104
derived directly from the Mason-Schamp equation according to Kurulugama et al. [22]

β is an instrument dependent proportionality coefficient (related to gas pressure, electric field,
107
and geometry of the drift cell and other ion optics), y the modified reduced mass related
108
coefficient can be determined by eq. 6, and tfix the mobility independent flight time. β and tfix
109
can be calculated by the regression from the slope and intercept.

Since the linear equation is directly related to the Mason-Schamp equation, the single field
112
method is substance independent.
113
The TWIM-MS instrumentation consists of a series of stacked ring ion guides (SRIG), filled
114
with an inert drift gas. A radio frequency (RF) voltage of opposite phases to consecutive
115
electrodes is applied to confine the ions radially. Furthermore, a transient direct current (DC)
116
voltage to each stacked ring electrode in turn is applied, so that the traveling wave arises.
117
Ions with higher mobility are carried by the wave and ions with lower mobility roll over the
118
wave [23]. TWIM-MS works like DTIM-MS below the low-field limit, but unlike DTIM-MS, the
119
direct relationship of K0 to the CCS does not exist due to the constantly varying electric field.
120
This means that CCS values cannot be directly obtained from the measured drift time [24].
121
However, CCS can be determined by calibration with known, from drift tube derived CCS
122
values. This procedure is described in detail by Ruotolo et al. [25]. Briefly, the literature CCS
123
(ΩLiterature) of calibrants are corrected by their charge (z) and reduced mass (µ) by eq 7.
124
Ω´=
125
The calibrants are introduced into the instrument and the time taken by the ions from the
126
trapping cell to the detector is measured. To determine the time that ions drift only through
127
the IMS cell (t´D), the experimental drift time (tD) must be corrected according to eq 8.
128
t´D = t D -
129
C means the enhanced duty cycle delay coefficient (EDC) which depends on the instrument.
130
In the next step a plot of ln t´D versus ln Ω´ is created. This plot is fitted to a linear relationship
131
in form of eq 9.
132
In Ω´=B ∙ In t´D + In A

From the fit determined values for A and B, the CCS of analytes can be calculated by the

136
The TWIM-MS derived CCS values are particularly dependent on the used calibrants.
137
Several calibration strategies are described for different applications [6, 25-41]. It is crucial
138
that calibrant ions are structurally similar to the analyte ions [6]. For example, Gelb et al [26]
139
investigated the influence of the calibrant ions on CCS values for carbohydrates and
140
peptides by TWIM-MS. They recommended a matching of molecular class and charge state
141
for a suitable TWIM-MS calibration.
142
In order to use CCS values for identifying unknown substances, databases are required.
143
Currently, only a few databases of experimentally determined CCS values are freely
144
available and it is not yet known if databases can be used independently from the instrument
145
type. For example, Regueiro et al. [12] compared the determined CCS values by TWIM-MS
146
with nitrogen as drift gas (TW CCSN2) for 20 pesticides with DTIM-MS determined CCS values
147
(DTCCSN2) from literature [3, 22] and calculated deviations up to 2.3%. Furthermore, they
148
measured an intra- and interday repeatability for TW CCSN2 with RSDs lower than 1%. Stow et
149
al. [21] have proved the reproducibility of
150
stepped field CCS method, RSDs of 0.29% for all compound ions were received. By using
151
the calibrated single field CCS method, an average bias of 0.54% to a standardized stepped
152
field CCS method on a reference system was calculated. Interlaboratory studies by using
153
TWIM-MS instruments were carried out by Astarita and coworkers. For several metabolites
154
and lipids they calculated RSDs for CCS values < 5% and < 3%, respectively, for most of the
155
considered molecules [7,8].
156
In the present study, the comparability of CCS values determined by DTIM-MS and TWIM-
157
MS in two different laboratories was investigated and discussed. CCS values of 124
158
molecules were determined for protonated as well as sodium adducts using nitrogen as drift
159
gas and compared to test the reciprocal use of CCS databases for a non-target research
160
question in the field of small molecules. Additionally, influences on CCS values of solvent
161
composition, flow rate, desolvation gas flow and desolvation temperature, which can affect
162
ionization of the molecules, were examined in both systems.

Comparison of CCS values measured by TWIM-MS and DTIM-MS
247
Different types of IMS systems have been coupled to high resolution time of flight mass
248
spectrometry (e.g. DTIM-MS, TWIM-MS or TIMS-TOF) and are commercially available.
249
However, it is necessary to validate the comparability of different instrument types, when
250
CCS databases are used independently from the instrument. For this purpose, CCS values
251
were determined and compared for a total of 124 substances, by means of the Waters Vion
252
TWIM-Q-TOF-MS and Agilent 6560 DTIM-Q-TOF-MS System, both using nitrogen as drift
253
gas. To that end, 64 pesticides, 35 pharmaceuticals and 25 metabolites of pesticides were
254
selected. The masses of molecules were between 151 and 747 Da, which also covers a
255
large range of CCS values (132 Ų to 271 Ų). Both instruments used electrospray ionization
256
in the positive mode for ionization of the compounds and CCS values of [M+H]+ and [M+Na]+
257
ions were monitored. For the TWIM-MS system we were able to detect [M+H]+ ions for 110
258
substances and [M+Na]+ ions for 109 substances. Using the DTIM-MS system 111 [M+H]+
259
and 108 [M+Na]+ ions were observed. In total, 104 out of 124 Substances were detected with
260
both instruments as [M+H]+ and 97 as [M+Na]+ ions. Maybe, the reason for the various
261
ionization efficiencies are different ESI source designs and various conditions. All measured
262
CCS values are given as mean values of multiple determinations and are listed in Table S-3.

misleading enhancement of the correlation. Linear equations were y = (1.00 ± 0.01)x - (0.5 ±
270
2.0) for [M+H]+ and y = (0.98 ± 0.02)x + (1.4 ± 2.7) for [M+Na]+ ions.
271
When calculating the slope of the regression line and the corresponding correlation
272
coefficients, the high CCS values of anhydroerythromycin, erythromycin and clarithromycin in
273
comparison to the other substances were not included because of the lack of standards
274
between 220 Ų and 260 Ų resulting in a misleading enhancement of the linear regression.
275
The calculated slopes of the regression lines of 1.00 and 0.98 for CCS values of [M+H]+ and
276
[M+Na]+ ions, respectively, and the corresponding r2 values of 0.9868 for protonated and
277
0.9780 for sodium adducts show good correlations between CCS values determined by
278
DTIM-MS and TWIM-MS. Furthermore, intercepts of the regression lines were close to zero
279
indicating no relevant offset between the two methods. The mean values of absolute percent
280
errors were 1.0% and 1.1% for protonated and sodium adducts, respectively. Figure 1b
281
shows that the CCS values for [M+Na]+ ions determined with TWIM-MS usually resulted in
282
smaller CCS values than with DTIM-MS. One reason could be the calibration of the TWIM-
283
MS device and accordingly the calculation of the CCS value. As described in the
284
introduction, the selection of calibrants for the TWIM-MS calibration has a significant impact
285
on the analyte CCS value. In this study, the TWIM-MS system was regularly calibrated with a
286
mixture of substances of which [M+H]+ and [M-H]- ions are considered (Table S-2). Thus, the
287
TWIM-MS was not calibrated for sodium adducts. In Figure 2, the deviations of the
TW
CCSN2
DT
288
values compared to the
289
the substances showed an absolute percentage error between 0 and 1%, whereas 27% have
290
an error between 1 and 2%. 7% have an absolute percentage error > 2.0%. The highest
291
deviation was revealed for the pesticide lenacil (6.1%). In case of sodium adducts 50% have
292
an absolute percentage error between 0 and 1% and 37% between 1 and 2%. An error
293
greater than 2% was obtained for 13% of substances. The beta-blocker pindolol showed the
294
highest deviation (6.2%). In summary, a deviation of 7%
319
(e.g. 7.6% for diflubenzuron). This is a large deviation also when taking into account the
320
lower accuracy of TWIM-MS of about 2%. Overall, the deviations among literature CCS
321
values are larger than the deviations reported in this work between the experimental CCS
322
values of TWIM-MS and DTIM-MS.
323
Interpretation of drift spectra for sodium adducts
324
During the experiments, it was observed that for some compound ions, two drift peaks of
325
[M+H]+ (Table S-4) and [M+Na]+ (Table S-5) ions could be detected. Especially for sodium
326
adducts, a high difference in their CCS values of about 35% between the first and second
327
drift peak were observed, suggesting a completely different shape of the ion. Two signals for
328
the sodium adducts could be observed for 55 (DTIM-MS) and 42 substances (TWIM-MS).
329
Plotting the m/z against the drift time (Figure 3) showed that the mass of the [2M+Na]+ ion
330
was detected with the same drift time as the second signal for the [M+Na]+ ion for both
331
instruments. Therefore, it can be assumed that [M+Na]+ and [2M+Na]+ ions are formed during
332
ESI, wherein a part of the [2M+Na]+ ions disintegrate to [M+Na]+ ions after passing through
333
the drift tube and before reaching the TOF region, leading to the second signal in the drift
334
spectra for the [M+Na]+ ions. For all substances, for which a second drift peak was detected
335
for [M+Na]+ ion, the drift times and CCS values were compared to those of the respective
336
[2M+Na]+ ion (Table S-6). 37 out of 55 (DTIM-MS) and 27 out of 42 compounds (TWIM-MS)
337
showed a signal for the respective [2M+Na]+ ion. 13 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Figure 3. 2D plot of m/z vs. drift time and drift spectrum of the difenoxuron [M+Na]+ ion,
340
measured by DTIM-MS (a) and TWIM-MS (b). Two signals were received for the [M+Na]+ ion
341
with both instrument types. In the 2D plots, signals with a m/z of 595.2520 for the DTIM-MS
342
instrument and a m/z of 595.2522 for the TWIM-MS system were also detected, which
343
correspond to the mass to charge ratio of the [2M+Na]+ ion of difenoxuron (theoretical m/z
344
[2M+Na]+ = 595.2527).
345
Impact of solvent and ESI parameters
346
According to the application and compounds of interests, different ESI settings were
347
generally used on both instruments. Therefore, the influence of certain LC and ESI
348
parameters were investigated. The parameters were varied to determine if changes occur in
349
the drift spectra or have an influence on the resulting CCS values. Benzthiazuron,
350
erythromycin, karbutilate and ritalinic acid were selected as model substances and [M+H]+
351
signals were evaluated. For example, for karbutilate (Figure 4a) two signals for the [M+H]+
352
adduct close to each other, can be observed in the drift spectra when using the DTIM-MS
353
system (Figure 4b), which might indicate protonation at different sites of the molecule. In
354
literature, several studies have investigated protomers of some molecules separated by IMS
355
[47-53]. Protomers are molecular isomers, which differ in the site of the added proton [48, 50,
356
53]. For the TWIM-MS instrument, only one signal was detected (Figure 4c). However,
357
considering the shape of the drift peak, a shoulder could be seen, which suggests that a
358
second, less well resolved signal next to the main peak could be present, which can be
359
explained by the lower resolving power of the TWIM-MS compared to the DTIM-MS device.
360
Impact of desolvation temperature and gas flow rate
361
The DTIM-MS instrument operates at significantly lower desolvation temperatures and gas
362
flows compared to the TWIM-MS instrument. Due to that fact, the TWIM-MS settings were
363
changed towards lower temperatures (200 °C, 300 °C, 400 °C and 500 °C) and gas flows 14 ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Page 15 of 22 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60

364
(5 L/min, 7 L/min, 9 L/min and 13 L/min), and for the DTIM-MS they have been changed
365
towards higher temperatures (200 °C, 250 °C, 300 °C and 350 °C) and gas flows (3 L/min,
366
5 L/min, 7 L/min and 9 L/min). The results showed that only slight deviations in CCS values
367
were obtained for both systems (Figure S-1), and these are within the device deviation.
368
Therefore, no dependencies on desolvation temperature and gas flow rate could be found.
369
Impact of solvent composition and flow rate
370
For solvent parameters, type and composition of the organic eluent as well as the flow rate
371
were investigated. Methanol and acetonitrile were used, and each solvent type was tested in
372
compositions of 5%, 50% and 95%. Flow rates were varied to 100 µL/min, 200 µL/min, 500
373
µL/min and 800 µL/min. One interesting change in the drift spectra was found for karbutilate.
374
The drift spectrum shows that remarkable changes in relative intensities of the two separated
375
drift peaks occurred when acetonitrile (50%) was used with the highest flow rate of 800
376
µL/min for the DTIM-MS system (Figure 4d). Measurements with TWIM-MS showed no
377
changes in drift spectra by increasing the flow rate with acetonitrile (Figure 4e). Warnke et al.
378
[51] investigated the protomers of benzocaine by combination of IR vibrational spectroscopy
379
with DTIM-MS. They found that changes in relative intensity of two protonated species were
380
revealed by varying solvent composition. The protic solvent (methanol/water) facilitates the
381
protonation of carbonyl oxygen and the aprotic solvent (acetonitrile) yields to predominantly
382
amine protonation of benzocaine. In case of karbutilate, both, N-protonation and O-
383
protonation could be possible at different sites within the molecule. Similar to the
384
observations by Warnke et al. varying the solvent composition leads to changes in relative
385
intensities of the two drift peaks. The results of this study indicate that also the flow rate
386
(amount of solvent) can have an impact. Because the DTIM-MS system works at lower
387
desolvation temperatures and gas flows compared to the TWIM-MS system, ESI conditions
388
of the TWIM-MS system were set to same desolvation temperature (200 °C) and desolvation
389
gas flow rate (5 L/min) than the Agilent system and setting the high flow rate (800 µL/min) of
390
the acetonitrile solvent (50%). However, no changes in the drift spectrum could be noticed
391
even under these conditions (Figure 4f). Overall, slight deviations in CCS values could be
392
observed during the parameter variation, but these are in the range of the device deviations.

Conclusion
400
The comparability of CCS values for small molecules, determined by TWIM-MS and DTIM-
401
MS, was investigated in order to test the possibility of a common CCS database. A good
402
correlation was found between the two instrument types for [M+H]+ and [M+Na]+ ions. Mean
403
absolute percentage errors were 1.0% for [M+H]+ and 1.1% for [M+Na]+ ions. However,
404
deviations of up to 6.2% of the measured compound ions showed that a comparability
405
between both instruments does not exist in all cases. Nevertheless, the CCS values can be
406
used reciprocally to exclude unambiguously incorrect assignments during identification of
407
unknowns. Latest developed prediction tools are also not able to predict CCS values with
408
high accuracy (< 1% error) for a large number of molecules. For example, Zhou et al. [54]
409
developed an approach to predict CCS values for lipids. By an external validation with
410
different instruments (DTIM-MS and TWIM-MS) median relative errors of about 1% were
411
calculated. However, deviations between predicted and experimentally determined CCS
412
values of greater than 1% were found for 29.3% and 11.8% of compounds for positive and
413
negative ionization mode, respectively. High deviations between expected and experimental
414
CCS values can lead to false negative results when databases are used as molecular
415
identifier. Therefore, when creating a database, it should be clearly indicated which
416
instrument type was used for the CCS determination and this should also be considered
417
when using a CCS database. It could be shown, similar to other studies, that the intensity
418
distributions of ion mobility separated protomers in the drift spectra are dependent on the
419
used solvent when electrospray ionization is applied. Different liquid chromatographic
420
conditions can prefer different protonation sites. Therefore experimental settings should also
421
be mentioned and multiple detected ion mobility signals for one compound should be
422
specified when creating CCS databases.
