The Challenge – Maximize FTMS Information Output

Most Fourier transform mass spectrometers (FTMS) provide only processed and noise reduced data (mass spectra). Having access to the true raw data (FTMS time-domain transients) permits the most informative and efficient data processing possible. Our FTMS Boosters, compatible with all FTMS instruments on the market, enable time-domain transient acquisition and access to high quality unreduced data. Combine them with our Peak-by-Peak software for advanced data processing and data analysis to take the full advantage of your FTMS platforms!

Features:

Enable artefact-free transient recording
- Phased transient acquisition (enabling FT in true absorption mode)
- Аrtefact-free ion signal detection (such as phase function dispersion)
- Detect all ions contributing to time-domain ion signal (wider m/z range)
- Improved detection of low abundant ions (quantitation accuracy)
- Data-dependent transient amplification prior to digitization
- Provide (save) phased transients for post-processing (any file size)

Enhance flexibility of experiment design
- Reveal experiment logistics: visualize AGC pre-scans & full detection periods
- Enable acquisition of extra-long transients: full ion detection time
- Maximize duty cycle: ion detection during MS/MS events (ETD, UVPD, etc.)

What is FTMS Booster?

FTMS Booster is a high-performance data acquisition and analysis system based on state-of-the-art FPGA (field-programmable gate array) technology. Together with Peak by Peak™ software, FTMS Booster is a complete state-of-the-art solution for acquisition of time-domain signals (transients), real-time digital signal processing, trigger decoding, and off-line data visualization and processing.

Compatible with any Orbitrap™ FTMS platform (LTQ Orbitrap™, Exactive™, and Fusion™ series), the device features both on-line and off-line software operation in parallel to installed products. Two complementary data sets are simultaneously and synchronously acquired. Both Booster-produced and conventional transients or mass spectra can be processed by Peak by Peak™ and AutoVectis™ software tools. Booster data is synchronized with metadata that is produced by the existing software.

In conclusion, the device gives your existing instrument a quantum boost in data quality and processing sophistication. In order to help you to take on the most complex and challenging applications on your instrument.

How does the FTMS Booster work?

High-throughput in-line FPGA technologies are the basis of the new architecture in FTMS Booster X1. Compared to traditional systems, the fidelity, accuracy and extent of the acquired time-domain data are substantially improved. In conclusion this results directly into improved analytical performance.
