High-Throughput Multiplexed Infrared Spectroscopy of Ion Mobility-Separated Species Using Hadamard Transform
Coupling vibrational ion spectroscopy with highresolution ion mobility separation offers a promising approach for detailed analysis of biomolecules in the gas phase. Improvements in the ion mobility technology have made it possible to separate isomers with minor structural differences, and their interrogation with a tunable infrared laser provides vibrational fingerprints for unambiguous database-enabled identification. Nevertheless, wide analytical application of this technique requires high-throughput approaches for acquisition of vibrational spectra of all species present in complex mixtures. In this work, we present a novel multiplexed approach and demonstrate its utility for cryogenic ion spectroscopy of peptides and glycans in mixtures. Since the method is based on Hadamard transform multiplexing, it yields infrared spectra with an increased signal-to-noise ratio compared to a conventional signal averaging approach.
