Draft:Charge detection mass spectrometry

  • Comment: This article needs a major rewrite to conform to Wikipedia guidelines. Some, maybe not all:
    * The second paragraph should be merged into the 1st as the lead.
    * Remove the advertising about Martin Jarrold, completely inappropriate. All of it.
    * Provide facts, don't sell the technique.
    * Provide better links to other established MS.
    * Provide 1-3 figures.
    * Remove other WP:PEACOCK. Ldm1954 (talk) 23:53, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Therer are some unclear passages such as "The frequency at which the ions oscillate undergo a fourier transform which allows for accurate characterization with minimal error " or "Orbitrap mass spectrometers". Suggested to simplify the article and remove content that doesnot have inline citation. nirmal (talk) 07:41, 23 April 2024 (UTC)


Charge Detection Mass Spectrometry (CDMS), a variant of mass spectrometry measures both m/z and charge, affording determination of the mass of ions in a sample. It is an advanced analytical technique used in the field of mass spectrometry. It's particularly powerful for analyzing very large molecules, such as proteins and polymers, with high precision. In CDMS, individual molecules are captured in a trap and then subjected to an electric field. As the molecules move within this field, their charge state is detected with extreme accuracy, often down to single charges. This information about the charge states can then be used to determine the mass of the molecules, providing detailed insights into their structure and composition. CDMS has found applications in various fields including biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, and materials science.
