Interpreting Mass Spectrum Reports: Mass spectrometry is an analytical technique that is vital in many fields including chemistry, physics, biology, and medicine. It measures the mass-to-charge ratio of ions to identify and quantify molecules in simple and complex mixtures. One of the major outputs of this process is a mass spectrum report, a chart that plots ion abundance against mass-to-charge ratio. Despite its importance, interpreting … Continue reading Interpreting Mass Spectrum: A Step-by-Step Guide
