Abstract
This review traces the first 20 years of Orbitrap mass spectrometry as a mainstream high‑resolution and accurate‑mass (HR/AM) technology. It outlines the historical development of the Orbitrap analyzer, the evolution of major instrument families, and the key technological innovations that enabled its widespread adoption. Particular emphasis is placed on hybrid and Tribrid architectures, democratization of HR/AM through benchtop platforms, extension to high‑mass and native analysis, and integration with ion mobility, advanced fragmentation methods, and emerging applications such as structural biology, isotope ratio measurements, and space research. The review concludes with a perspective on future directions and the anticipated role of Orbitrap instrumentation as the core workhorse in analytical laboratories worldwide.
期刊介绍：
The aim of the journal Mass Spectrometry Reviews is to publish well-written reviews in selected topics in the various sub-fields of mass spectrometry as a means to summarize the research that has been performed in that area, to focus attention of other researchers, to critically review the published material, and to stimulate further research in that area.
The scope of the published reviews include, but are not limited to topics, such as theoretical treatments, instrumental design, ionization methods, analyzers, detectors, application to the qualitative and quantitative analysis of various compounds or elements, basic ion chemistry and structure studies, ion energetic studies, and studies on biomolecules, polymers, etc.
