Tandem Mass Spectrometry
MS/MS isolates one precursor ion, fragments it by collision or electron-transfer dissociation, and scans the resulting product ions, so fragmentation is attributed to a known parent rather than to an unresolved mixture. This is what makes structure elucidation possible in soft-ionization and complex-matrix work.
This Concept is waiting for its first lesson!
