Coupling desorption electrospray ionisation and neutral desorption/extractive electrospray ionisation with a travelling-wave based ion mobility mass spectrometer for the analysis of drugs.

Desorption electrospray ionisation (DESI) and neutral desorption/extractive electrospray ionisation (EESI) have been coupled to a hybrid quadrupole travelling-wave (T-Wave)-based ion mobility time-of-flight mass spectrometer for the direct accurate mass analysis of active ingredients formulated into pharmaceutical samples. The collision cross-section measurements of polyethylene glycol (PEG) excipients detected in one formulation were estimated and compared with published data. These estimated collision cross-sections of the PEG species showed good agreement with published data.
