What Does IDMS Stand For?
IDMS stands for Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry
Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry (IDMS) is a highly precise analytical technique used for quantifying the concentration of analytes in complex samples. It involves the addition of a known quantity of isotopically labeled standard to a sample, followed by mass spectrometry analysis. The ratio of the labeled to unlabeled isotopes allows for accurate determination of the target analyte, making IDMS particularly valuable in fields such as environmental analysis, pharmacokinetics, and food safety. This method is recognized for its robustness and reliability in providing traceability and minimizing measurement uncertainties.
