<p>Nice science grant for Florida State: </p>

<p>

This award from the Division of Chemistry supports the development and acquisition of a 21 tesla superconducting magnet that will be the basis of an ultrahigh-resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer (FTICR-MS). Dr. Alan Marshall and his team at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) will work with a selected vendor to develop and fabricate a superconducting magnet that can be interfaced with advanced ICR technology to yield mass spectrometry systems with unprecedented capabilities in mass resolution, mass range, and sample complexity.</p>

<p>In addition to advancing mass spectrometry science in general, this project will also have direct and groundbreaking implications in the fields of petroleomics, top-down proteomics, and in the characterization of the structure and behavior of macromolecular complexes.
