What Does FTICRMS Stand For?

FTICRMS stands for Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry

FTICRMS, or Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry, is a highly sensitive and high-resolution analytical technique used for the precise determination of molecular weights and structures of complex mixtures. It employs the principles of ion cyclotron resonance and Fourier transform methods to analyze ions in a magnetic field, allowing for the observation of isotopic patterns and detailed molecular information. This technique is invaluable in fields such as proteomics, metabolomics, and environmental analysis, providing insights into molecular composition and dynamics at an unprecedented level of detail.
