Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Preferred Label : Tandem Mass Spectrometry;

NCIt synonyms : MS/MS; MS2;

NCIt related terms : MS 2;

NCIt definition : Mass spectrometers coupled in series. The targeted compound is selectively ionized, and its characteristic ions are separated from others in the mixture in the first mass spectrometer. The selected primary ions are then decomposed by collision, and from the resulting products the final mass analyzer selects secondary ions characteristic of the targeted compound. Tandem mass spectrometry can achieve specificities and sensitivities equivalent of those of methods such as radioimmunoassay and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, while performing analyses in much shorter times.;

Alternative definition : CDISC: An analytical technique where mass spectrometry is coupled to mass spectrometry in order to separate, identify, and quantify substances in a sample.;
