FAIMS Capability Enhances Ion Trap Mass Spectrometers

The FAIMS (high-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry) interface is suited for the proprietary family of ion trap mass spectrometers. The FAIMS capability eliminates interferences, increases the number of the total spectra that match sequences, and eliminates the need for additional time-consuming separation steps. The combination of FAIMS and ion trap mass spectrometers addresses the needs of scientists who require more definitive results and multiple modes of separation from interferences. The ion trap mass spectrometers, when coupled with the FAIMS interface, allow users to selectively isolate target compounds based on a number of physical properties, including charge state and molecular conformation. This selection of ions occurs before the introduction of the sample into the mass spectrometer, reducing background noise, increasing selectivity and improving spectral quality.
