This metode programs the mass spectrometer to detec only certain ionic fragments at
certain retention times for the target compounds and to disregard all others. this
increasae the signal to noise ratio (S/N) of compound detection to allow a lower
limit of detection of 0,1, ppv for 40 target analytes on
