ABSTRACTA popular method for peptide quantification relies on isobaric labeling such as tandem mass tags (TMT) which enables multiplexed proteome analyses. Quantification is achieved by reporter ions generated by fragmentation in a tandem mass spectrometer. However, with higher degrees of multiplexing, the smaller mass differences between the reporter ions increase the mass resolving power requirements. This contrasts with faster peptide sequencing capabilities enabled by lowered mass resolution on Orbitrap instruments. It is therefore important to determine the mass resolution limits for highly multiplexed quantification when maximizing proteome depth. Here we defined the lower boundaries for resolving TMT reporter ions with 0.0063 Da mass differences using an ultra-high-field Orbitrap mass spectrometer. We found the optimal method depends on the relative ratio between closely spaced reporter ions and that 64 ms transient acquisition time provided sufficient resolving power for separating TMT reporter ions with absolute ratio changes up to 16-fold. Furthermore, a 32 ms transient processed with phase-constrained spectrum deconvolution provides >50% more identifications with >99% quantified, but with a slight loss in quantification precision and accuracy. These findings should guide decisions on what Orbitrap resolution settings to use in future proteomics experiments relying on TMT reporter ion quantification with identical integer masses.

Abstract While the resolving power of drift tube ion mobility spectrometers has been studied and modelled in detail over the past decades, no comparable model exists for the signal-to-noise-ratio. In this work, we develop an analytical model for the signal-to-noise-ratio of a drift tube ion mobility spectrometer based on the same experimental parameters used for modelling the resolving power. The resulting holistic model agrees well with experimental results and allows simultaneously optimizing both resolving power and signal-to-noise-ratio. Especially, it reveals several unexpected relationships between experimental parameters. First, even though reduced initial ion packet widths result in fewer injected ions and reduced amplifier widths result in more noise, the resulting shift of the optimum operating point when reducing both simultaneously leads to a constant signal-to-noise-ratio. Second, there is no dependence of the signal-to-noise-ratio at the optimum operating point on the drift length, as again the resulting shift of the optimum operating point causes all effects to compensate each other.

The multiplex properties of the Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) can be considered as disadvantageous with modern detectors and large telescopes, the dominant noise source being no longer in most applications the detector noise. Nevertheless, a FTS offers a gain in information and other instrumental features remain: flexibility in choosing resolving power up to very high values, large throughput, essential in high–resolution spectroscopy with large telescopes, metrologic accuracy, automatic substraction of parasitic background. The signal–to–noise ratio in spectra can also be improved: by limiting the bandwidth with cold filters or even cold dispersers, by matching the instrument to low background foreoptics and high–image quality telescopes. The association with array detectors provides the solution for the FTS to regain its full multiplex advantage.

In calculating the resolving power of a homogeneous field mass spectrometer, one must consider the dispersion and the beam width of the instrument. The latter is the sum of at least 10 components, which are discussed. Formulae giving the resolving power of three types of spectrometer of current interest are developed, as well as formulae for positioning the exit slits.
