Fourier transform-ion cyclotron resonance spectrometry

The advent of techniques that enable the study of fast reactions in the gas phase, such as ion cyclotron resonance (ICR) spectrometry, Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance spectrometry (FT-ICR) and high pressure mass spectrometry (HPMS), allowed the measurement of the gas-phase proton affinities for strong bases84-86 as well as for... 

In the present review, a new variation on an existing experimental method will be used to show how accurate unimolecular dissociation rate constants can be derived for thermal systems. For example, thermal bimolecular reactions are amenable to study by use of several, now well-known, techniques such as (Fourier transform) ion cyclotron resonance spectrometry (FTICR), flowing afterglow (FA), and high-pressure mass spectrometry (HPMS). In systems where a bimolecular reaction leads to products other than a simple association adduct, the bimolecular reaction can always be thought of as containing a unimolecular...

IM has been coupled with a range of mass spectrometers. Both electrospray ionization (ESI) [21,22], and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) [18] ionization sources have been used to generate ions prior to IM analysis. Different configurations of mass analyzers have been used to perform mass analysis including quadrupole mass analyzers [23], time-of-flight (TOE) analyzers [24] and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance spectrometry (FT-ICR) [25]. Recently, an instrument utilizing two and three drift cells in tandem has been described [26].

Laser desorption Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance spectrometry. Laser desorption FTICR-MS looks very promising for the analysis of high ethoxylates, but this technique is still the province of research universities. It has been demonstrated for determination of oligomer distribution of OPE of average degree of ethoxylation of 59 (74).

Resolution does not affect the accuracy of the individual accurate mass measurements when no separation problem exists. When performing accurate mass measurements on a given component in a mixture, it may be necessary to raise the resolution of the mass spectrometer wherever possible. Atomic composition mass spectrometry (AC-MS) is a powerful technique for chemical structure identification or confirmation, which requires double-focusing magnetic, Fourier-transform ion-cyclotron resonance (FTICR) or else ToF-MS spectrometers, and use of a suitable reference material. The most common reference materials for accurate mass measurements are perfluorokerosene (PFK), perfluorotetrabutylamine (PFTBA) and decafluorotriph-enylphosphine (DFTPP). One of the difficulties of high-mass MS is the lack of suitable calibration standards. Reference inlets to the ion source facilitate exact mass measurement. When appropriately calibrated, ToF mass... 

In mass spectrometers, ions are analysed according to the ml7. (mass-to-charge) value and not to the mass. While there are many possible combinations of technologies associated with a mass-spectrometry experiment, relatively few forms of mass analysis predominate. They include linear multipoles, such as the quadrupole mass filter, time-of-flight mass spectrometry, ion trapping forms of mass spectrometry, including the quadrupole ion trap and Fourier-transform ion-cyclotron resonance, and sector mass spectrometry. Hybrid instruments intend to combine the strengths of the component analysers.

Currently PCR and mass spectrometry are performed by two separate instruments. However, there is no reason why PCR followed by simple automated cleanup and mass spectrometry cannot be incorporated into a single integrated instrument. Essentially every configuration of the modern ESI mass spectrometer has been used successfully for the analysis of PCR products, from the highest to the lowest resolution involving. Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR), triple quadrupole, quadrupole-time of flight (Q-TOF), and ion trap.22-24 MS discriminates between two structurally related PCR products by MW difference. Mass accuracy is needed to differentiate the...

Multiple mass analyzers exist that can perform tandem mass spectrometry. Some use a tandem-in-space configuration, such as the triple quadrupole mass analyzers illustrated (Fig.3.9). Others use a tandem-in-time configuration and include instruments such as ion-traps (ITMS) and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICRMS or FTMS). A triple quadrupole mass spectrometer can only perform the tandem process once for an isolated precursor ion (e.g., MS/MS), but trapping or tandem-in-time instruments can perform repetitive tandem mass spectrometry (MS ), thus adding n 1 degrees of structural characterization and elucidation. When an ion-trap is combined with HPLC and photodiode array detection, the net result is a profiling tool that is a powerful tool for both metabolite profiling and metabolite identification. 

Resolutions in the range of 10,000 to 20,000 are achievable with modem time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS). Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICRMS) is more costly but capable of resolutions exceeding 100,000. Resolutions exceeding 10,000 can provide low to sub parts-per-million mass accuracies. One ppm is equivalent to a mass accuracy of 0.001 for a molecular weight of 1,000 Da.
