Fig. 14. — Resolution achievable with FTICR and Orbitrap analyzers. A transient duration of 1 s is considered for FTICR with field strength 9.4 and 21 T, and for two different designs of the Orbitrap analyzer. The resolution shown for FTICR is nonapodized whereas the resolution shown for Orbitrap is apodized. In both types of FTMS the resolution drops with increasing the mass of an analyte. Within experimental settings used in chromatographic applications in proteomics (1 s transient) the Orbitrap system can outperform the FTICR with even very strong magnets for analytes with large m/z.
