ASMS Terms and Definitions Poster Entry

Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) - Two-stage mass analysis experiment, used to study the chemistry of selected ions or individual components in mixtures.

Note from a reader:?????????????? I despise "MS/MS spectra" -- Who has ever heard of an MS spectrum (a mass spectrometry spectrum). Prefer "tandem mass spectrum" or better "product-ion spectrum" or "precursor-ion spectrum".?????????????? How do you handle a "metastable-ion spectrum"--please don't sanction a "metastable spectrum".
