Mass Spectrometry Ms
Mass spectrometry (MS) is an analytical technique used to identify and quantify terpenes and cannabinoids in cannabis samples by measuring molecular mass. In cannabis chemistry, MS works by ionizing chemical compounds and sorting them by mass-to-charge ratio, producing a characteristic fragmentation pattern for each molecule. Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is the standard laboratory method for terpene profiling in breeding programs and quality verification. MS data helps breeders document terpene signatures across generations and verify genetic stability. This analytical approach provides objective, reproducible chemical fingerprints rather than subjective aroma descriptions.

Breeders use MS data to track terpene inheritance patterns and select for consistent chemical profiles across seed lines. MS results enable accurate comparison of terpene ratios between parent plants and offspring, supporting selective breeding for desired aromatic and compositional traits.
