Mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-013261",
  "term": "Mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A technique that involves multiple stages of mass analysis, where ions are first separated by mass-to-charge ratio, then fragmented, and finally the fragments are analyzed by mass-to-charge ratio. This method provides structural information about molecules and enhances the specificity and sensitivity of detection. It is often abbreviated as MS/MS or tandem mass spectrometry.",
