Finnigan FTMS-200 Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometer

Mass Spectrometry Divission at the University of Delaware

Several New and Interesting Experimental Techniques are being realized and tested on this Instrument, which is a unique "Tandem"-kind combination of two different instruments. The first one,- an External Ion Source which provides highly efficient delivery of the remotely created monochromatic ion beam by the means of complex ion optics,- also by its nature suggests an opportunity for the Time-of-Flight separation-based selection of the precursor ions. The second instrument, the FTMS-2000 ICR MS with a double cell , rotating target plate and a 4.2 Tesla magnet becomes a perfect choise as an instrument for the Collision and Surface Induced Dissociation Studies.

Not only instrumentation and design aspects of the performance of the Machine is of interest for Our Group. Applied SID studies of a group of peptide ions on the Fluorinated Hydrocarbons thin films surfaces are adding to the global understanding of the fundamental mechanism of peptide fragmentation reactions. Adoption of Electrospay Ion Source to the TOF lays in the basis of this project.
