Abstract
A method of analysing ions is disclosed comprising: (i) subjecting ions of an analyte molecule to different activation levels at different times so as to cause the ions to have different mobilities at said different times, wherein the activation level is varied in a plurality of cycles, and wherein the activation level is varied between said different levels during each of the cycles. The method uses an ion mobility separator or scanned ion mobility filter to determine the mobilities of the ions for said different activation levels; and correlates the determined mobilities with their respective activation levels so as to thereby obtain a fingerprint for the analyte molecule.
