Article Synopsis
- The CRAFTI technique for measuring collision cross sections (CCS) faces challenges due to the need for accurate pressure measurements in the mass spectrometer and the requirement that ions must be similar in mass to the neutral particles.
- The newly developed "multi-CRAFTI" method allows researchers to excite multiple ions simultaneously, enabling relative measurements of CCS without needing to know the exact pressure and facilitating absolute CCS measurements using internal standards.
- Experimental results show that multi-CRAFTI produces CCS values in agreement with traditional methods, although it tends to yield smaller CCS due to higher collision energies; the study indicates that computational models may overestimate interactions among the ions, particularly at higher masses.
