Enhancement reaction

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-003937",
  "term": "Enhancement reaction",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A chemical reaction designed to increase the analytical signal of a target analyte, thereby improving its detectability or quantification. This is achieved by converting the analyte into a product that yields a stronger or more easily measurable response. Such reactions are often employed in trace analysis to overcome detection limits.",
