Hardware tools to access the unreduced data in FTMS
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!
