  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001359",
  "term": "Blade format",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A specific configuration for solid-phase microextraction (SPME) devices where the sorbent material is coated onto a flat, thin blade-like support rather than a fiber. This design offers a larger surface area for extraction, potentially improving extraction efficiency and kinetics. It is often used for direct immersion or headspace sampling.",
