Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry

Tools  

• Electrospray Ionization (ESI)
• Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI)
• Atmospheric Pressure Photoionization (APPI)
• Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization (MALDI)
• Direct Infusion experiments
• HPLC

Applications

• Characterization of polar compounds like NSO (Nitrogen, Sulfur and Oxygen containing organic compounds) in fossil and recent geological samples (sediments, sedimentary rocks, coals, soils, water samples)
• Assessment of secondary alteration processes in petroleum systems (maturation, biodegradation, migration)
• Characterization of high molecular weight aromatic compounds
• Elucidation of molecular formulae
• Molecular imaging
