For TimsTOF, I *think* that the typical diaPASEF ion mobility separation is for ~100ms.
Is this correct?
Would anyone know the approximate ion mobility resolution?
What's typical FWHM for the ion-mobility peaks? (Do most peptides have that typical FWHM in ion mobility space (as it is for MS), or is the range for FWHM quite variable (as it is for LC)?)
Do the peptides separate roughly evenly across the entire mobilogram in these diaPASEF experiments? (Or, do they mainly cluster towards at the ~25ms to 75ms point etc?)
Can one keep increasing the time spent in ion mobility phase and get a corresponding increase in resolution? i.e., can the ion mobility run for 200ms with double the resolution? Can it go even for say 1000ms at 10x the resolution of 100ms? (I doubt it, but I thought I'd ask.)
Would the answer to question 4 change when considering the setup described in question 5?
