12519 IUPAC Gold Book - peak stripping 10.1351/goldbook.12519 12519 current 1 Data analysis technique used in elemental mass spectrometry to correct the intensity of an unresolved multiplet peak monitored for a specific element for contributions from a multi-isotopic contaminant. The correction is calculated from the measured intensity of a different isotopic peak of the contaminant and the known natural isotopic abundance ratio. PAC, 2013, 85, 1515.
