Orbitrap Mass Spectrometry: Ultra-high Resolution for Every Lab

What is Orbitrap™ analyzer?
Orbitrap analyzer =
= Orbital trapping
+ Image current detection
+ Electrodynamic squeezing
+ External pulsed ion source
3
The unstable world of electrostatic trapping
Earnshaw's theorem (1842): “A collection of point charges cannot be maintained in a stable stationary equilibrium configuration solely by electrostatic interaction of the charges”
Orbital traps Kingdon (1923)
…but moving charges could be stable!
No promise?

� Frequency of axial oscillations of each ring induces an image current on split outer electrodes
� Multiple ions in the Orbitrap generate a complex signal with frequencies determined using a Fourier Transformation
7
Injection of Ions into the Orbitrap analyzer
I(t)
� A short ion packet of one m/z enters the field
� Increasing voltage squeezes ions
� “Excitation by injection” is initiated
� Voltage stabilises and ion trajectories are also stabilized
� Angular spreading forms ROTATING RINGs bouncing back and forth

Reasons Why Orbitrap Would Never Work � Not possible to provide ion packets with required spatial and temporal parameters
for continuous ion sources
All these reasons are valid and require a lot of work!
� Tolerance requirements on electrodes are not realistic � Injection and central slots ruin resolving power and mass accuracy � Vacuum requirements are ridiculously high and can not be met � Ions can not be injected with high efficiency � Wide mass range can not be injected and captured � Image current preamplifier will be destroyed by pick-up during injection � Noise from high voltage power supply will overwhelm preamplifier � Surface potentials would disturb and scatter ions � Mass accuracy will be poor because of voltage drift & noise � Large ion numbers cannot be properly injected or analyzed � Electrodes shape, rotational and radial frequencies will
cause unmanageable mass-dependent harmonics
10
Injection of Ions into the Orbitrap analyzer
I(t)
C-trap
Lenses
Deflector
� Ions are stored and cooled in a curved RF-only quadrupole (C-trap)
� RF is ramped down, radial DC is applied
� Ions are ejected along lines converging on the orbitrap entrance).
� As ions enter orbitrap, they are picked up and squeezed by its electric field
� All ions start simul-taneously, but light ions enter Orbitrap analyzer earlier that heavy ions
12
LTQ-Orbitrap: All Technologies Come Together
1. Ions are stored in the linear trap of LTQ 2. …are axially ejected 3. …and trapped in the C-trap and
squeezed into a smaller cloud 4. …then a voltage pulse across C-trap
ejects ions towards the Orbitrap 5. …where they are trapped and detected

Improvements in orbital trapping: Compact high-field analyzer
� Smaller size- 1.8x frequency at the same voltage, 2.1x at higher voltage
� New miniature lenses for focusing onto Orbitrap entrance
� Higher tolerance requirements
� Lower capacitance and new preamplifier transistors bring increased sensitivity.
� Space charge shift: ca. 70% rel. to the standard trap at the same target

Q Exactive: new features relatively to Exactive
� Quadrupole mass filter � Enhanced Fourier transform (eFT™) for Orbitrap data processing � Predictive automatic gain control (pAGC) and parallel filling & detection � Possibility of multiple fills for spectrum multiplexing � S-lens for higher transmission (like in LTQ Orbitrap Velos) with rugged
optics � C-trap directly interfaced to HCD (like in LTQ Orbitrap Velos)

� Sensitivity gain 5 – 10 x with SIM mode � The gain will be higher in more complex matrices
What do we gain by selected ion monitoring?
� In Full MS, total C-trap charge capacity is shared between multiple signals of different intensity
� Signal-to-noise ratio becomes dependent on the ratio of compound of interest to other analytes- much less so in SIM!
� In Orbitrap instruments, SIM could become MRM without any additional overhead!

Conclusion
� Ultra-high resolution � MS/MS sensitivity
� Quantitation � Throughput
� The Orbitrap Mass Analyzer is a new type of mass analyzers with its own unique combination of analytical parameters
� Orbitraps are still evolving… � Higher speed � Higher resolving power and mass accuracy � Higher sensitivity � More routine applications
� Exciting new applications continue to emerge
