Keynote: LIFE AT THE FRONTIER: 21 TESLA FOURIER TRANSFORM ION CYCLOTRON RESONANCE MASS SPECTROMETRY

摘要

FT-ICR MS offers at least 10X times higher mass resolving power than any other mass analyzer, and is thus the mass analyzer of choice for "omics" applications. 21 tesla FT-ICR MS [1] enables ultrahigh mass resolving power at on-line HPLC speed (< 1 second per acquired transient) for high-throughput analysis of complex organic mixtures: e.g. assignment of >450,000 distinct elemental compositions from a single LC FT-ICR mass chromatogram of Atjabasca bitumen.
