  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-002453",
  "term": "Consecutive reaction monitoring",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A mass spectrometry technique that involves monitoring a series of fragmentation reactions in sequence, typically in a tandem mass spectrometer. This method tracks a precursor ion through multiple stages of dissociation to produce specific product ions. It provides detailed structural information about the analyte by observing characteristic fragmentation pathways.",
