Subsequently his design of the "Orbitrap" has revolutionised mass spectrometry. With more than 5000 Orbitrap-based instruments deployed worldwide his technology underpins critical research such as the first draft of the human proteome, as well numerous applications in proteomics, metabolomics and environmental sciences. |
