Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) is a mass spectrometry technique that utilizes a strong magnetic field to trap ions and measure their cyclotron frequency, allowing for high-resolution mass analysis. This method provides detailed information about the mass-to-charge ratios of ions, making it invaluable for characterizing complex mixtures in biogeochemical research, especially in understanding molecular compositions and transformations.
