15N targeted assay development and deployment on a fast ion trap!

 

I totally hoped this was going to be an untargeted plasma proteomics at low resolution/high speed paper, but that's okay, it's still pretty cool.

Now...if the price of this fast little ion trap would come down to an appropriate price range... we'd be in business. Do you want 5ppm mass accuracy on a benchtop Orbi that's WAY slower? Or 15ppm mass accuracy on a TOF that is the same speed as this cool little ion trap? Or is 800ppm an okay trade off for fast and sensitive?  I'm not willing to pay the same price (or more!) for unit resolution, and I know I'm not the only one. If they eventually price this thing in line with the instrument capabilities in a competitive market, I think they'll be all over the place!
