What Does SIR Stand For?

SIR stands for Selected Ion Recording

Selected Ion Recording (SIR) is a mass spectrometry technique used to selectively detect and quantify specific ions of interest within a complex mixture. By isolating these ions and recording their intensity over time, SIR enhances sensitivity and specificity, making it an invaluable tool in analytical chemistry, environmental monitoring, and biological studies. This method allows for improved identification of compounds and detailed analysis of their concentrations in various samples.
