03745 IUPAC Gold Book - mass spectrometric detector 10.1351/goldbook.M03745 M03745 current 1 A mass spectrometer used as a detector to give qualitative and quantitative data on the various eluted substances. The mass spectrum of the eluted compounds provides evidence beyond the elution time as to the chemical nature of the species. elution https://goldbook.iupac.org/terms/view/E02042 mass spectrometer https://goldbook.iupac.org/terms/view/M03732 mass spectrum https://goldbook.iupac.org/terms/view/M03749 PAC, 1990, 62, 2167.
