Spectroscopy
Tandem mass spectrometry is an analytical technique that combines two or more stages of mass analysis to identify and characterize compounds based on their mass-to-charge ratios. By using this method, it becomes possible to fragment ions in the first stage and analyze the resulting fragments in the second stage, which enhances sensitivity and specificity in the detection of complex mixtures, particularly useful in various applications across different fields.
