  "term": "Multiple-stage mass spectrometry",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A mass spectrometry technique that involves performing sequential mass analysis steps on ions, often denoted as MSn. In each stage, a selected ion is fragmented, and the resulting product ions are then mass-analyzed. This process provides detailed structural information about complex molecules by breaking them down into characteristic fragments.",
