  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-013111",
  "term": "Flame-in-tube atomizer",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A device used in atomic spectroscopy where a flame is contained within a tube, often made of quartz, to atomize a sample. The tube provides a longer residence time for the atoms in the optical path, which can enhance sensitivity. A carrier gas transports the analyte into the heated tube for atomization.",
