Event Overview:
Ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) has emerged as a powerful analytical technique for qualitative and quantitative analysis of small molecules including drugs. Recent technological advances, such as the development of Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulations (SLIM) high-resolution ion mobility (HRIM), have significantly progressed structural characterization capabilities while also offering substantial improvement in throughput due to the rapid nature of the gas-phase separations. This presentation will highlight recent developments in HRIM applications to a range of biologically, clinically, and pharmaceutically relevant small molecules including new psychoactive substances like fentanyl analogs and synthetic cannabinoids. A special emphasis will be on differentiation and identification of isomeric species (i.e., stereoisomers, prototropic isomers, atropisomers, etc.).
Key Learning Objectives:
- Advantages of ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) for analysis of small molecules
- Implementation of IM with existing analytical methods (i.e., LC-MS workflows)
- Benefits of high-resolution IM techniques for rapid structural characterization of drug isomers
Who Should Attend:
- Principal Investigator
- Lab Director
