  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-006625",
  "term": "Linear ion trap",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A type of ion trap mass spectrometer that confines ions radially using a two-dimensional radiofrequency field and axially using static or pulsed electric fields. Ions are stored and then ejected for mass analysis, offering high sensitivity and fast scan speeds. This design provides improved ion storage capacity and trapping efficiency compared to a Paul ion trap.",
