Is MS1 utilized in DIA-MS? During a DIA-MS experiment, MS1 scans are usually acquired. For the TOF-based DIA-MS experiments, MS1 scans are usually of moderate resolution. For example, the original SWATH-MS paper (PMID: 22261725) by Gilet et al used 250-ms to finish a DDA-MS1 scan while 100-ms to finish a SWATH-MS1 on a TOF-MS system. Considering that each scan, regardless of MS1 or MS2 in SWATH, takes 0.1 s, SWATH-MS1 takes around 3.3% of the cycle time. The authors did, however, additionally de…read more
