Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a free service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are accessible to all readers and citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article.

ABSTRACT Ion mobility (IM) separations have a broad range of analytical applications, but insufficient resolution limits many applications. Here we report on ion mobility separations in a Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulations (SLIM) Serpentine Ultra-long Path with Extended Routing (SUPER) traveling wave (TW) ion mobility (IM) module in conjunction with mass spectrometry (MS). Ions were confined in the SLIM by rf fields in conjunction with a DC guard bias, enabling essentially lossless TW transmission over greatly extended paths. The extended routing utilized multiple passes (e.g., ~1094 meters over 81 passes through the 13.5 m serpentine path) and was facilitated by the introduction of a lossless ion switch that allowed ions to be directed to either the MS detector or for another pass through the serpentine separation region, allowing theoretically unlimited IM path lengths. The multi-pass SUPER IM-MS provided resolution approximately proportional to the square root of the number of passes (or total path length). More than 30-fold higher IM resolution for Agilent tuning mix m/z 622 and 922 ions (~340 vs. ~10) was achieved for 40 passes compared to commercially available drift tube IM and other TWIM-based platforms. An initial evaluation of the isomeric sugars Lacto-N-hexaose and LactoN-neohexaose showed the isomeric structures to be baseline resolved, and a new conformational feature for Lacto-N-neohexaose was revealed after 9 passes. The new SLIM SUPER high resolution TWIM platform has broad utility in conjunction with MS and is expected to enable a broad range of previously challenging or intractable separations.

INTRODUCTION Ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) is a powerful and versatile tool for both analytical applications and structural characterization.1 IM separates ions in the gas-phase based upon sizeto-charge ratios. Higher resolution IM approaches have shown utility for separating some conformations2 and isomers,3 for biomolecule structural studies,4 and, increasingly, for analysis of complex ‘omics’ mixtures.5 The recent wider adaptation of IM-MS is attributed not only to the increasingly available commercial instrumentation, but also to its applicability across biomolecular classes (e.g., carbohydrates, lipids, peptides) and analysis speed. Indeed, IM separations achieving similar peak capacities as liquid chromatography (e.g., ~400 for peptides in a 90 minute gradient)6 would potentially be transformative for many applications. While several IM approaches have been reported that can achieve higher resolution separations, each has significant limitations. For example, field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS), using a planar electrode geometry,7 a mixture of helium or hydrogen with nitrogen as a carrier gas,8 increased field strengths,9 or reduced gas flow rate to provide greater separation times10 provides greatly increased resolution, but only in conjunction with large ion losses11 as well as with lengthy scanning of the compensation voltage.12 Most higher resolution IM platforms separate ions in relatively weak (
