The International Mass Spectrometry Foundation (IMSF) is a non-profit scientific organization in the field of mass spectrometry. The Foundation operates the International Mass Spectrometry Society, which consists of 36 member societies and sponsors the International Mass Spectrometry Conference that is held once every three years.From 2012 this is changed to every two years.

Aims

The IMSF has four aims:
