Enhanced Detection of High‐Mass Proteins by Using an Active Pixel Detector1. Issue 43 (3rd September 2013) - Ellis, Shane R.
Abstract Flying high: Application of an active pixel detector with high charge sensitivity to a linear time‐of‐flight mass spectrometer results in enhanced detection of high‐mass proteins (such as Immunoglobulin G; IgG) using a conventional microchannel plate detection system. This technique thus provides a means to extend the mass range of such detectors as well as allowing direct visualization of mass‐dependent ion‐focusing phenomena (see picture).
