“…The pulse sequence for 2D FT-ICR MS (two-dimensional Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry) was developed by Pfändler et al and has been optimized for various fragmentation methods, such as infrared multiphoton dissociation, electron capture dissociation (ECD), infrared-activated ECD, electron-induced dissociation, and ultraviolet dissociation. − Programs have been developed for data processing and analysis, and algorithms have been developed for noise reduction. ,− Applications for 2D MS include small molecules, proteomics (bottom-up and top-down), polymer analysis, and agrochemicals. ,,− A narrowband method has been developed for high resolution precursor-fragment correlation over small m / z ranges as well as strategies for phase correction to improve both the resolving power and the signal-to-noise ratio of 2D mass spectra. − …”
