  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012910",
  "term": "Axial ejection",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The process in a mass spectrometer where ions are expelled along the central axis of a linear ion trap or a quadrupole ion trap. This method is used to transfer ions from the trap to a detector or another mass spectrometry stage. Axial ejection is often achieved by applying a resonant radiofrequency voltage to the end electrodes of the trap.",
