Methods and systems are provided herein for varying the CoV about a nominal CoV-apex while monitoring the ion of interest corresponding to the nominal CoV-apex as it is transmitted by a DMS. In various aspects, the CoV can be swept or stepped across a series of values during the injection of ions into the DMS such that a composite spectra of the ion of interest transmitted by the DMS (or its product ions following one or more stages of fragmentation) can be generated so as to include the transmission of the particular ion at a CoV with optimum sensitivity (i.e., if distinct from the CoV-apex), thereby improving the robustness, accuracy, and/or selectivity during experimental conditions relative to known DMS techniques, which typically used a fixed CoV value for each ion of interest. |
