What Does CA Stand For?
CA stands for Collision Activation
Collision Activation (CA) is a process used in mass spectrometry and other analytical techniques, where ions are subjected to collisions with neutral particles to induce fragmentation. This technique enhances the understanding of molecular structures by generating smaller, more manageable ions for analysis. CA is vital for identifying different chemical compounds and elucidating complex molecular architectures in research and industry applications.
