To calculate the CCS of unknown ions, however, the TWIMS device needs to be calibrated using calibrant proteins of known CCS values. The effect of calibrant protein concentration of the accuracy of the resulting calibration curve has not been explicitly studied so far. We hypothesised that at high protein concentrations the ion density within the TWIMS device will be such that ions will experience space charge effects resulting in deviations, as well as broadening, of ion arrival time distributions (ATDs). Calibration curves using these altered ATDs would therefore result in incorrect CCS values being calculated for the protein ions of interest. // METHODS: Three protein CCS calibrants, avidin, bovine serum albumin and β-lactgobulin, were prepared at different concentrations and used to calculate the CCS of a non-calibrant protein. Data were collected on a Synapt G1 ion mobility-mass spectrometer with a nano-electrospray ionisation (nESI) source using capillaries prepared in house. // RESULTS: Increasing the concentration of CCS calibrants caused ATD broadening and shifted the ATD peak tops, leading to a significant increase in calculated CCS values. // CONCLUSION: The concentration of protein calibrants can directly affect the quality of the CCS calibration in TWIMS experiments. date: 2020-09 date_type: published official_url: https://doi.org/10.1002/rcm.8613 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1714721 doi: 10.1002/rcm.8613 lyricists_name: Eldrid, Charles lyricists_name: Thalassinos, Konstantinos lyricists_id: CFSEL09 lyricists_id: KTHAL22 actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry volume: 34 number: S4 article_number: e8613 event_location: England issn: 1097-0231 citation: Eldrid, C; O'Connor, E; Thalassinos, K; (2020) Concentration‐dependent coulombic effects in travelling wave ion mobility spectrometry collision cross section calibration.
