About TrueMass
Focused on Charge Detection Mass Spectrometry
TrueMass is a specialist Charge Detection Mass Spectrometry company. We develop CDMS instrumentation and software for scientists working with large, heterogeneous systems where individual-ion mass measurement can add information that is difficult to obtain from ensemble measurements alone.
CDMS is not one product line among many for us. It is the focus of the company, from the way ions are measured to the way the resulting data are visualised, compared and interpreted.

Why focus matters
Close to the science as it develops
Charge Detection Mass Spectrometry is still developing quickly. New applications, new analytical questions and new ways of working with the data continue to emerge. Staying focused on one field keeps our instrument, software and scientific teams close to those changes.
It also keeps the conversation direct. Researchers can bring us a difficult sample question, a data problem or a software workflow and discuss it with people who work on CDMS every day.
Built through collaboration
Starting from your question
We do not expect every laboratory to use CDMS in the same way. The useful starting point is the question: what are you trying to measure, distinguish or compare, and what information is missing from the methods you already use?
Those discussions influence how we think about instrumentation, software and future workflows. The aim is not to add complexity. It is to make CDMS more practical and more useful as the science develops.
Measure what matters
A particle-by-particle route to intact mass
For high-mass, heterogeneous systems, a single average does not always contain the information that matters most. CDMS provides a particle-by-particle route to intact mass and mass distributions. TrueMass is building the technology around that measurement, with a clear focus on what the data can help scientists understand.
