Enhance your Orbitrap

Give your Orbitrap a Quantum boost with the FTMS Booster



FTMS Booster gives your existing Thermo Orbitrap (… & Thermo FTICRs) a quantum boost in data quality and also in processing sophistication. In order to help you to add a fresh breeze in performance to your mass spec so that you can unravel your most complex and challenging applications on todays instruments.


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.
