mass spectrometer specially designed for automated MS and MS/MS high throughput
identification of proteins and peptides. Tandem Mass Spectrometry is a technique that
utilizes more than one mass selective stage in a mass spectrometer.
The most common form in practice is a two stage arrangement to record MS/ MS or
(MS)
2
spectra.
The incorporated LIFT device allows acquiring full fragment ion spectra within one
single scan and replaces traditional measurements of segmented spectra with
stepwise-reduced reflector potentials.
