EVISA is providing a list of terms used in the area of speciation and
fractionation analysis as a searchable
glossary. Since speciation analysis is a field of
analytical chemistry that is specified by a pronounced interdisciplinary
cooperation between different sciences such as biochemistry, medicine,
biology, environmental sciences, nutritional sciences and material
sciences its terminology is a complex mixture of terms used in all
these.
In case that you cannot find a term related to mass spectrometry within EVISA's glossary, you may consult more special
glossaries or handbooks about the terminology of mass spectrometry:

IUPAC: IUPAC is the source for definitions of terms to be used in mass spectrometry. Provisional versions of the IUPAC list can be found on the worldwide web e.g.
http://old.iupac.org/reports/provisional/abstract06/murray_prs.pdf, but the definitive text is still not published.
