Mass Spectrometry is the technique in which the analyte is ionized, separated from its matrix and mixture components, according its mass–to–charge ratio (m/z}, and detected to determine the molecular weight of component isotopes.

Common Abbreviations:

ESI - ElectroSpray Ionization

FAB - Fast Atom Bombardment

ICP - Inductively Coupled Plasma

MALDI - Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization

MS/MS - Mass Spectrometry repeated, typically within an ion trap

TOF - Time Of Flight
