STORIboard for Direct Mass Technology has arrived.

We’re excited to announce our newest software in collaboration with Thermo. Meet STORIboard, an easy-to-use software for calibrating charge and processing/visualizing data collected with Thermo’s Direct Mass Technology-equipped Q Exactive UHMR Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap Mass Spectrometer.

“The Direct Mass Technology mode adds charge detection to the Orbitrap mass analyzer, enabling simultaneous measurement of both mass-to-charge (m/z) and charge ( z) for hundreds of individual ions. This allows for direct calculation of analyte mass without the need for m/zdependent deconvolution, which relies on resolved charge states and/or isotopically-resolved signals in ensemble measurements. The Direct Mass Technology mode increases resolution and dynamic range and increases the upper limit of accessible mass measurements, while allowing for the collection of more meaningful data from significantly less concentrated samples due to the sensitivity of individual ion measurements.” — See more from the Direct Mass Technology mode brochure here.
