Neutralization reionization mass spectrometry
DRAFT DEFINITION
With this technique, m/z selected ions form neutrals by charge transfer to a collision gas or by dissociation. The neutrals are separated from the remaining ions and ionized in collisions with a second gas. This method is used to investigate reaction intermediates and other unstable species.

-With this technique, a gas phase ion is neutralized upon collision with a low [[ionization energy]] gas. The resulting neutral species, which can be allowed to dissociate, are ionized, often with collision with oxygen. This method may be used for investigation of fragmentation reaction intermediates or other unstable species.
