  "term": "Linked scan",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A scan on an instrument that has several mass analysers, during which the field strengths of more than one analyser are varied together so that a fixed relationship between them is kept. On a magnetic and electric sector instrument, scanning B and E with B/E held constant records the product ions of a chosen precursor ion, while holding B²/E constant records the precursor ions that give a chosen product ion.",
