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:??????????????

Mass Spectrometry/Mass Spectrometry (MS/MS)
A generic term for the acquisition, study and spectra of the electrically charged products or precursors of a pre-selected ion or ions.
Mass Spectrometry-Mass Spectrometry (MS-MS) See MS/MS.
NOTE: Do we want to make a decision on / or ?????????????????????????? to determine technique and spectra?
