Abstract
Most mass analysis relies on "nominal" mass accuracy (i.e., to within 1 Da). However, more and more applications are based on much more accurate mass measurement. Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) offers 10-100 times higher mass resolving power than other mass analyzers.
High mass resolving power (m/?m50% > 400,000 over a wide mass range) offers two major advantages. First, it becomes possible to separate complex mixtures without prior chromatographic or gel separation. Second, elemental composition may be determined from accurate (to <1 ppm) mass measurement alone for unknown molecules up to ~1,000 Da. Examples from environmental, petrochemical, analytical, and biological (especially proteomics) problems will be presented, including world records for mass resolution.
