Differential mobility spectrometry (DMS), also commonly referred to as high field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) is a rapidly advancing technology for gas-phase ion separation. The interfacing of DMS with mass spectrometry (MS) offers potential advantages over the use of mass spectrometry alone. Such advantages include improvements to mass spectral signal/noise, orthogonal/complementary ion separation to mass spectrometry, enhanced ion and complexation structural analysis, and the potential for rapid analyte quantitation. In this report, we demonstrate the successful use of our nanoESI-DMS-MS system, with a methanol drift gas modifier, for the separation of oligosaccharides. The tendency for ESI to form oligosaccharide aggregate ions and the negative impact this has on nanoESI-DMS-MS oligosaccharide analysis is described. In addition, we demonstrate the importance of sample solvent selection for controlling nanoESI oligosaccharide aggregate ion formation and its effect on glycan ionization and DMS separation. The successful use of a tetrachloroethane/methanol solvent solution to reduce ESI oligosaccharide aggregate ion formation while efficiently forming a dominant MH+ molecular ion is presented. By reducing aggregate ion formation in favor of a dominant MH+ ion, DMS selectivity and specificity is improved. In addition to DMS, we would expect the reduction in aggregate ion complexity to be beneficial to the analysis of oligosaccharides for other post-ESI separation techniques such as mass spectrometry and ion mobility. The solvent selected control over MH+ molecular ion formation, offered by the use of the tetrachloroethane/methanol solvent, also holds promise for enhancing MS/MS structural characterization analysis of glycans.
