High-resolution ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (HR-IMS-MS) instruments have enormously advanced the ability to characterize complex biological mixtures. Unfortunately, HR-IMS and HR-MS measurements are typically performed independently due to mismatches in analysis time scales. Here we overcome this limitation by using a dual-gated ion injection approach to couple an 11-meter path length structures for lossless ion manipulations (SLIM) module to a Q-Exactive Plus Orbitrap MS. The dual-gate setup was implemented by placing one ion gate before the SLIM module and a second ion gate after. The dual-gated ion injection approach allowed the new SLIM-Orbitrap platform to simultaneously perform an 11-meter SLIM separation, Orbitrap mass analysis using the highest selectable mass resolution setting (up to 140k), and high-energy collision induced dissociation (HCD) in ~25 minutes over an $m/z$ range of ~1500 amu. The SLIM-Orbitrap was initially characterized using a mixture of standard phosphazene cations and demonstrated an average SLIM CCS resolving power (RpCCS) of ~218 and SLIM peak capacity of ~156 while simultaneously obtaining high mass resolutions. SLIM-Orbitrap analysis with fragmentation was then performed on mixtures of standard peptides and two reverse peptides (SDGRG1+, GRGDS1+, RpCCS = 305) to demonstrate the utility of combined HR-IMS-MS/MS measurements for peptide identification. Our new HR-IMS-MS/MS capability was further demonstrated by analyzing a complex lipid mixture and showcasing SLIM separations on isobaric lipids. In conclusion, this new SLIM-Orbitrap platform demonstrates a critical new capability for proteomics and lipidomics applications, and the high-resolution multimodal data obtainable with this system establishes the foundation for reference-free identification of unknown ion structures.
