1 Mass and Resolution Calibration for New Triple-Stage Quadrupole Mass Spectrometers Rob Grothe Thermo Fisher Scientific, San Jose, CA
2 Overview Purpose: Robust and accurate calibration of mass positions and peak widths for a new generation of triple-stage quadrupole mass spectrometers. Methods: 1) Coarse calibration of the slope of DC/RF scan line to eliminate instrument variability; 2) Resolution calibration of DC settings to select peak width; 3) Mass calibration to place known calibrant at correct mass position. Results: Calibration of mass and resolution is demonstrated on a prototype triplestage quadrupole mass spectrometer. in positive-ion mode. Introduction Accurate analysis of a sample by quadrupole mass spectrometry requires accurate calibration of both mass and resolution. Mass calibration allows the user to correctly identify analytes in the sample (qual) and reproducibly measure their abundances (quan). Resolution calibration allows the user to select optimal peak widths for a given analysis either widening the peak width to improve sensitivity, or narrowing the peak width to improve specificity. Methods Sample Preparation Calibration mix is infused into the mass spectrometer during calibration. The calibration mix contains three polytyrosine peptides that generate ions used for calibration in both positive and negative ion modes. Mass Spectrometry The same calibration routine is used for Thermo Scientific TSQ Endura and Thermo Scientific TSQ Quantiva triple-stage quadrupole mass spectrometers. Results shown here were obtained on a prototype TSQ Quantiva triple-stage quadrupole mass spectrometer. Data Analysis Spectra are acquired while adaptively modifying the RF and DC settings. Using proprietary, purpose-built software, the spectra are fit to a deformable model of each calibrant s isotope envelope. By virtue of the model fit, accurate estimates of the ion intensity, mass position, and peak width measured at full-width half maximum (FWHM) are obtained. Semi-empirical parameters describe how mass position and peak width change in response to changes in applied RF and DC voltages. These parameters are used to adaptively adjust RF and DC to correct differences between the observed mass position and theoretical calibrant mass and between the observed and requested peak width. Calibrated settings are verified by five replicate scans measuring the RMS error in mass position and peak width against the prescribed tolerances: TSQ Quantiva triple-stage quadrupole mass spectrometer: +/- 25 mda Method Overview As shown in Figure 1, m mass analysis devices: devices are calibrated f Da) and two scan rates scan rates are calculate The process has three s calibration.

These three devices are calibrated for each quad (Q1 and Q3) at two peak widths (0.4 Da and 0.7 Da) and two scan rates (250 Da/s and 1000 Da/s). Settings for other peak widths and scan rates are calculated by extrapolation. The process has three steps: coarse calibration, resolution calibration, and mass calibration. The outcome of each step can be understood in terms of the manipulations of the scan line position relative to the apex of the principal stability region of the Mathieu stability diagram. FIGURE 1.

Therefore, accurate calibration requires an accurate method for estimating the mass position and peak width for a known calibrant. A deformable isotope envelope is fit to the observed spectrum for a known calibrant. The isotope envelope has three degrees of freedom: vertical scale (intensity), horizontal scale (peak width), and horizontal shift (mass position). The model of best fit provides estimates of model parameters. FIGURE 2. Comparison of observed and theoretical values for mass position and peak width.

Each iteration adjusts the value of the DET_GAIN_DAC device, which moves in opposition to the RF/DC ratio, until the trend of peak width vs. m/z is as flat as possible. When RF/DC = 2q*/a* ~ 6, the scan line is parallel to a line in the Mathieu stability diagram joining the origin to the apex of the principal stability region. This condition is observed as a flat trend line in the plot below (1314, yellow). When the RF/DC ratio is too low (1330, red), peak width increases with m/z. The DET_GAIN_DAC is reduced by 17 units attempting to reduce the slope peak width / m/z to zero. The first iteration (1313, blue) produces slight overcorrection, observed as a slightly negatively sloping trend line. The final iteration (1314, yellow) achieves the desired result. FIGURE 3.

The model of best fit Resolution Calibration As shown in Figure 4, resolution calibration adjusts the RES_DAC device to achieve a selected peak width. The RES_DAC adds a voltage offset to the differential DC, moving the scan line closer to the apex of the stability diagram and thus reducing the peak width. The trend line of peak width versus RES_DAC is linear. The slope of the line is (approximately) known in advance. Five scans are taken to iteratively adjust the RES_DAC to the target peak width (e.g. 0.7) and the chosen value is selected by linear regression. FIGURE 4.

The e the slope peak width / ercorrection, observed as 4, yellow) achieves the Mass Calibration Mass calibration adjusts the MASS_DAC device to place a known calibrant at the correct mass position in the spectrum. The MASS DAC device scales both the RF and DC, moving an ion along the scan line. Mass calibration is inherently coupled to resolution calibration because increasing the RES_DAC shifts the mass position to the right. Using linear regression, we find the mass position for the calibrated RES_DAC setting and then the MASS_DAC by the ratio observed mass / theoretical mass. Because coarse calibration has established mass-independent RES_DAC tuning, the RES_DAC value remains correct even after the MASS_DAC adjustment. Thus, we avoid the need to iteratively alternate MASS_DAC and RES_DAC adjustments. Verification As shown in Figure 5, with all mass analysis devices fixed (DET_GAIN_DAC, MASS_DAC, RES_DAC), the position and peak width for each known calibrant are estimated from five replicate scans. Minimal scan-to-scan variation is observed due to counting statistics and RF jitter. The total RMS error (systematic + random) is compared against the tolerance (exterior of blue box). FIGURE 5.

Thus, we RES_DAC adjustments. Calibration Robustness A standard reference scan line is produced by coarse calibration, using the apex of the principal stability region as a marker. Relative to this reference scan line, when the differential DC is set to zero, the theoretical peak width is zero. Differential DC is adjusted by the RES_DAC. Empirically, across many instruments, a RES_DAC setting of 0.7 +/- 0.1 V sets the differential DC to zero. Reducing the RES_DAC from this zero-point value produces a proportionate increase in peak width, about 2.6 Da/V. As shown in Figure 6, a peak width of 0.4 Da is achieved by setting the RES_DAC to 0.75 V (0.4 Da) / (2.6 Da/V) = 0.60V (blue line). A peak width of 0.7 Da is achieved by setting the RES_DAC to 0.75 V (2.6Da/V)*(0.7 Da) = 0.48V (red line). FIGURE 6. Setting peak width. xed (DET_GAIN_DAC, for each known calibrant are an variation is observed due to ystematic + random) is Fine calibration requires only small adjustments from calculated set points. This makes it easy to bring new systems into calibration and easily identifies mechanical defects. Conclusion Mass and resolution calibration of TSQ Endura and TSQ Quantiva triple-stage quadrupole mass spectrometers has been made simple and robust by means of a coarse calibration routine that provides a common starting point from which subsequent fine calibration is trivial and highly reproducible. The apex of the principal stability region provides a useful reference point for mass and resolution calibration. Nearly all of the instrument-to-instrument variation can be tuned out by DET_GAIN_DAC adjustment that delivers the standard scan line that passes through the apex of the principal stability region. The standard scan line has the desirable property that RES_DAC tuning is massindependent, allowing easy identification of the scan line and eliminating the need for iterative rounds of that alternate mass calibration and resolution calibration.. Calibrated RES_DAC values closely correspond to theoretical values that can be determined a priori, resulting in easy calibration and clear identification of mechanical defects.
