  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-003686",
  "term": "Electrohydrodynamic ionization",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A soft ionization technique used in mass spectrometry where a liquid sample is subjected to a strong electric field, causing the formation of a fine spray of charged droplets. These droplets desolvate to produce gas-phase ions of the analyte. It is particularly effective for analyzing non-volatile and thermally labile compounds.",
