This work presents the experimental evaluation of a digital tandem mass filter that is composed of two digitally operated low-resolution mass filters in series whose mass windows are shifted with respect to each other. The overlap of the mass windows allows the resolution (Δ) of ions to be narrowed to provide better resolving power, while the acceptance of the tandem mass filter is defined by the acceptance of the first low-resolution quadrupole. Our experiments show that digital operation fulfills the promise of the tandem mass filter for providing better ion transmission at the same or better resolving power as a single quadrupole mass filter. It allows the user to continuously adjust the resolving power and sensitivity to meet current needs. Most importantly, the observed resolving power/sensitivity characteristics are the same at any mass and /.

Blood carries some of the most valuable biomarkers for disease screening as it interacts with various tissues and organs in the body. Human blood serum is a reservoir of high molecular weight fraction (HMWF) and low molecular weight fraction (LMWF) proteins. The LMWF proteins are considered disease marker proteins and are often suppressed by HMWF proteins during analysis.

Background: Isolated subsegmental pulmonary embolism (issPE) is a commonly encountered diagnosis. Although the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 codes are used for research, their validity for identifying issPE is unknown. Moreover, issPE diagnosis is challenging, and the findings from radiology reports may conflict with those from expert radiologists.

In inertial confinement fusion experiments, hot spot mix caused by hydrodynamic instabilities is a critical performance limitation. Currently, multi-channel Ross filter pair imaging is used to quantitatively diagnose the mix mass of cryogenic hot spots driven by 100 kJ energy, but this method brings significant uncertainty. To measure the level of mix more accurately, we have developed a two-temperature model to modify the fitted bremsstrahlung spectra based on the characteristics of cryogenic implosion hot spots.
