  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-002228",
  "term": "Collision reaction cell",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A specialized chamber in a mass spectrometer where analyte ions interact with a reactive gas, leading to ion-molecule reactions or collision-induced dissociation. This cell enhances selectivity and sensitivity by converting interfering ions into non-interfering species or by generating characteristic product ions. It is a variant of a collision cell designed for specific chemical transformations.",
