Choosing the correct digitizer for Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (TOFMS) is crucial due to the short-lived pulses generated by ions hitting the detector. Factors to consider include the ability to accurately record total flight times, handling predominantly negative polarity pulses, distinguishing ions with similar m/z, and accommodating varying signal densities within the output.
Additionally, the digitizer should fit within the confined space of the MS system, be positioned close to the detector to minimize signal reflections, and ideally feature hardware trigger output for precise timing synchronization with the ion source.
