What Does SID Stand For?
SID stands for Selected Ion Detection
Selected Ion Detection (SID) is a specialized analytical technique used in mass spectrometry to isolate and detect specific ions of interest from a complex mixture. This method enhances sensitivity and selectivity by allowing researchers to focus on particular ions based on their mass-to-charge ratios, facilitating more accurate analysis of chemical compositions, structures, and concentrations in various samples. SID is widely utilized in fields such as pharmaceuticals, environmental monitoring, and biochemical research.
