EVISA is providing a list of terms used in the area of speciation and
fractionation analysis as a searchable
glossary. Since speciation analysis is a field of
analytical chemistry that is specified by a pronounced interdisciplinary
cooperation between different sciences such as biochemistry, medicine,
biology, environmental sciences, nutritional sciences and material
sciences its terminology is a complex mixture of terms used in all
these.
In case that you cannot find a term related to mass spectrometry within EVISA's glossary, you may consult more special
glossaries or handbooks about the terminology of mass spectrometry:
