Skyline MSI optimization of mutlicharged ions valerie steiner  2026-03-06 04:28
 

I need to find a way to optimize a large number of mutlicharged ions (not peptide ) to get MRM transition for TQ. is it possible to use Skyline and MSI (MassLynx Skyline interface) to have a way to automatize optimization of a lot of multicharged ions? Thanks. Valérie

Have you seen the Small Molecule Method Development and CE Optimization tutorial:
https://skyline.ms/wiki/home/software/Skyline/page.view?name=tutorial_small_method_ce

Near the end of that tutorial it talks about how to export a method for CE Optimization where the mass spec collects multiple chromatograms for each transition with different collision energies, and how to import those results into Skyline after you acquire the data so Skyline can see which collision energy works best for each Transition.
