Abstract
Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory
The NHMFL located at Tallahassee Florida houses the most powerful magnets in the world both superconducting and resistive. Superconducting magnets can be used for many analytical techniques, e.g., mass spectrometry. The Ion Cyclotron Resonance program at the NHMFL was established in 1994 by Professor Alan Marshall and the program leads the world in Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometer instrument and technique development. In this lecture, I will briefly discuss the utility of mass spectrometry and different mass analyzer types with a focus on FT-ICR mass spectrometry.
