Fig. 2

Heat-map visualization of a representative trapped ion mobility resolved mass spectrum of human plasma at an elution time of 9.2 min. Red dots indicate precursors selected for MS/MS fragmentation in the subsequent 100 ms PASEF scan in a, standard TIMS-MS/MS mode and b TIMS-PASEF mode. The dashed line indicates the positioning of the quadrupole. c Distribution of the number of precursors per PASEF scan in an LC-MS analysis of human plasma lipid extract (n = 1). d Total number of 4D features extracted from 30 min runs of human plasma (n = 5), mouse liver (n = 5), and human cancer cells (n = 5) in positive ion mode without (TIMS-MS/MS, red) and with PASEF (TIMS-PASEF, blue). The fraction of features with assigned MS/MS spectra is indicated by a darker color.
