Conclusion
It could be shown, that with DIA the sensitivity and
selectivity of fragment ions can be increased significantly.
Since this is a technique without targeted precursor ion
selection, no signals are filtered out. This enables all
possibilities for post acquisition processing in a targeted
and untargeted approach the same way, so prerequisites
for General Unknown Screening are given without
compromise.

d fragment ions for
mode
Another question was if not only the sensitivity, but also
the selectivity could be increased using the DIA approach.
The insect repellant DEET showed an interference in the
fragment
m/z
119.0493. With on
e
window (i.e. AIF) a clear
shoulder was visible which was not present in the signal of
the parent ion. This interference signal did not change at
first with increasing the number of windows for DIA, but
with eight windows (isolation width of 50 Da) suddenly the
chromatographic peak showed the same shape as the
parent peak from the full scan. This indicates, that it is
possible to even increase the selectivity with the larger
number of isolation windows in DIA. This is shown clearly
in Fig. 7.
