  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001885",
  "term": "Characteristic mass for peak absorption",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The mass of an analyte that produces a peak absorbance of 0.0044 absorbance units in electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry. This value is determined under specified conditions, including the type of atomizer, temperature program, and matrix. It serves as a measure of the sensitivity of a particular analytical method for a given element.",
