Abstract
Since ICR spectrometry [1] was introduced in 1965 [2] great progress has been made in instrumentation. Among the most important new methods were: 1. Introduction of pulsed spectrometry with a trapped — ion analyzer cell [3] and 2. Fourier transform ICR spectrometry [4]. The early instruments utilized a magnetic field scan to obtain a mass spectrum. This has several disadvantages: The scan is slow, trapping efficiency and sensitivity are changing with magnetic field strength. The strength of the magnetic field is not well defined and its homogeneity is not high. Therefore a frequency scan at constant magnetic field is preferable. Once operating at constant magnetic field the use of superconducting high field magnets yields substantial improvements:
-
1.
Very high resolution,
-
2.
Large mass range
-
3.
Very long trapping times
-
4.
Capability of simple mass scale calibration stable for extended periods of time utilizing the great field stability of the superconducting magnet.
