  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-004616",
  "term": "Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A high-resolution mass spectrometry technique that measures the mass-to-charge ratio of ions based on their cyclotron frequency in a strong magnetic field. Ions are trapped in a Penning trap and excited by a radiofrequency pulse, inducing a detectable image current. This method provides extremely accurate mass measurements, often used for complex mixture analysis.",
