The reaction intermediate scan (RIS) represents a most instructive triple mass spectrometric (MS/MS/MS) experiment allowing the elucidation of sequential dissociation cascades. Preferably the RIS is performed by utilizing triple‐stage mass spectrometers. Considering experimental findings obtained with BEB‐ and BEqQ‐configurated instruments, some aspects regarding the collision processes and the applicability of linked scanning are discussed with special emphasis on the reliability of RIS.
