  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-008379",
  "term": "Overall efficiency of atomization",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The fraction of analyte atoms introduced into an atomic spectroscopic instrument that are converted into free, ground-state atoms in the measurement volume. This efficiency is influenced by factors such as nebulization, desolvation, and atomization processes. It directly impacts the sensitivity of atomic absorption and emission measurements.",
