Last User Committee meeting at 7th North American FT MS Conference, April 2009 (Kristina Hakansson - U. Michigan, David Muddiman- NC State, Jon Amster – U. Georgia, Mike Greig – Pfizer, John Eyler – U. Florida, Steve Beu – S.C. Beu Consulting) • 8th North American FT MS Conference scheduled for May 2011 • Funded by NSF Chemistry Division ($17.5M) to design, build, and make available 21 T FT-ICR MS • Mass accuracy improvements by an aggregate factor of 5 at a given magnetic field User Highlights from the ICR Program
Maintain and extend world leadership in FT-ICR MS instrumentation and capabilities: highest magnetic field, highest resolution and mass accuracy, new ionization methods, ion optics, automation, data reduction • Petroleomics becomes a predictive tool: quantitation,deposits, corrosion, flow assurance, emulsions, compartmentalization, etc. • Future Fuels Institute: industrial partnerships to address "heavy ends", biofuels, oil spills, etc. • Exploit full potential of FT-ICR MS for biochemistry/biology: human proteome, cell membrane lipids and glycolipids, protein complexes, metabolomics, drug design. Visionfor the ICR Program (end of 2017)
