Isotope ratio mass spectrometry

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006237",
  "term": "Isotope ratio mass spectrometry",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A specialized mass spectrometry technique designed to precisely measure the relative abundances of different isotopes of an element in a sample. This method often employs multiple collectors to simultaneously detect different isotopic ions, allowing for highly accurate and reproducible ratio determinations. It is widely used in fields like geochemistry, archaeology, and forensic science to trace origins and processes.",
