Abstract
To enhance charge-detection mass spectrometry (CDMS), the behavior of single macromolecular ions in an Orbitrap analyzer was investigated. Megadalton ions showed remarkable stability, enabling precise mass analysis with resolution >100,000. Monitoring individual ion frequencies revealed gradual solvent loss and rare charge stripping. Correcting for frequency drift improved ion sampling 23-fold, leading to a twofold increase in mass precision and resolution.
