  "term": "Mass range",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The span of mass-to-charge ratios (m/z) that a mass spectrometer is capable of detecting and analyzing. This characteristic defines the types of ions that can be measured by a particular instrument. Modern mass spectrometers can analyze ions with m/z values ranging from a few atomic mass units up to several hundred thousand.",
