  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-008339",
  "term": "Orthogonal extraction",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A method used in mass spectrometry to extract ions from a continuous ion beam into a pulsed ion beam, typically for time-of-flight mass analyzers. Ions are accelerated perpendicularly to their initial direction of motion by a pulsed electric field. This technique provides high mass resolution and sensitivity.",
