Tandem Mass Spectrometry
Tandem Mass Spectrometry (MS/MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to help identify, characterize and quantify molecules in complex samples. It works by breaking apart ionized molecules, then detecting and measuring the fragments. MS/MS is used to distinguish molecules that have similar masses by obtaining additional information such as the fragments' relative intensity and size, which helps to establish the structure and identity of the molecule. The technique is widely used in medicine, forensics, biochemistry, and other fields where analyzing the structure and identity of molecules is essential. Its ability to rapidly and accurately detect and identify molecules makes it invaluable for many research and diagnostic applications.
