TrueMass CDMS technology helps drive scientific discovery
Across healthcare, life sciences, materials science and forensics, TrueMass is driving scientific discovery. The launch of its new analytical technology will accelerate research into complex molecules and materials.
The new TrueMass charge detection mass spectrometry (CDMS) solution combines the power of ion trap MS with novel charge detection technology. By introducing charge as an additional simultaneous measurement to mass-to-charge ratio (m/z), the TrueMass CDMS instrument identifies the true mass of large biomolecules and materials at high resolution and high throughput.
Why CDMS?
Conventional electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) is a powerful tool for obtaining qualitative and quantitative information on molecules, but the charge state distributions of distinct components within heterogeneous macromolecular complexes or synthetic polymers are almost impossible to resolve. CDMS provides accurate masses of individual ions directly from the mass spectrum, without compromising analysis time.
