Title:
MASS SPECTROMETER INCORPORATING HYDROGEN-DEUTERIUM EXCHANGE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/098833
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising a hydrogen-deuterium exchange cell. Isomeric ions having different conformations but substantially similar ion mobilities can be differentiated by subjecting the ions to hydrogen-deuterium exchange. Two ions having similar ion mobilities can be differentiated more effectively if they have different surface conformations by determining the relative degree of hydrogen-deuterium exchange.
