Mass Spectrometry Terms and Definitions Project

The goal of this site is to support the IUPAC project Standard definitions of terms relating to mass spectrometry that has resulted in the publication of Definitions of Terms Relating to Mass Spectrometry (IUPAC Recommendations 2013).

The wiki was open for comment between 2004 and 2006, was maintained as a reference from 2006 to 2013, and now contains links to numerous mass spectrometry terminology definitions from the IUPAC Gold Book, Orange Book, 2013 Recommendations, and other sources.

There are currently 2,071 entries in MS Terms as of Thursday March 28, 2024.
