Constant neutral mass loss spectrum

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-002464",
  "term": "Constant neutral mass loss spectrum",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A mass spectrum generated by scanning the first and second mass analyzers of a tandem mass spectrometer synchronously, such that the mass of the neutral species lost in a collision cell remains constant. This method is used to detect ions that undergo a specific fragmentation pathway involving the expulsion of a particular neutral molecule. The mass difference between the precursor ion and the product ion is held at a fixed value.",
