Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance (FT-ICR) Mass Spectrometry
Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry is a powerful technique used to identify and quantify the composition of complex mixtures. It combines an ultra-high resolving power with high mass accuracy, making it one of the most efficient means of detecting and characterizing large molecules such as peptides, proteins, and their interactions. FT-ICR is commonly used in proteomics research, clinical diagnostics, and quality control of biotherapeutics. This technique is also used to study ion chemistry, thermochemistry, and reaction mechanisms. By providing high resolution and mass accuracy, FT-ICR mass spectrometry provides a crucial tool for understanding the molecular basis of biological processes.
