  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-003257",
  "term": "Direct infusion",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A method of introducing a liquid sample into a mass spectrometer without prior chromatographic separation. The sample is continuously pumped at a low flow rate directly into the ion source, often via electrospray ionization. This technique is suitable for analyzing relatively pure samples or for rapid screening of mixtures.",
