Mass spectrometry or MS is an investigative method that ionizes compound species and arranges the ions on the basis of their mass-to-charge ratio. In layman terms, mass spectrum calculates the masses inside a sample. A mass spectrum is basically a plot of the signal that is generated by the ion with respect to the mass-to-charge ratio. The spectra thus generated are used to detect the isotopic or elemental signature of samples such as peptides and other chemical compounds. Mass spectrometry finds application in various fields such as atom probe, protein characterization, and glycane analysis, among others. However, the clinical mass spectrometry market has a promising future, owing to the preciseness of the process as well as technological advancements in the field of pharmacokinetics
