Improved targeted quantitation with diagonal-PASEF using Skyline

Combining Data-Independent Acquisition (DIA) with Trapped Ion Mobility Separation (TIMS) reduces sample complexity by providing an additional dimension of separation, thereby increasing overall system peak capacity. This scan mode, termed dia-PASEF, employs fixed quadrupole isolation windows for ion selection in both the m/z and mobility panes. To further enhance the analytical performance, diagonal-PASEF has been developed, which optimizes the acquisition of the precursor ion cloud by continuously tracking its diagonal shape. Read More
Although several data processing software tools currently support this innovative scan mode, none specifically focus on targeted data extraction. We present the implementation of diagonal-PASEF data processing in Skyline, demonstrating exceptional performance for targeted quantitation. The integration of diagonal-PASEF data acquisition with Skyline data processing shows significant promise for targeted quantitation due to its straightforward method setup and remarkably short cycle times.
