  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-008501",
  "term": "Particle beam interface",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A device used in mass spectrometry to introduce analytes from a liquid chromatograph into the high vacuum of the mass spectrometer. It involves nebulizing the liquid effluent, desolvating the resulting aerosol, and then forming a beam of analyte molecules. This interface is designed to remove solvent while transferring non-volatile analytes into the gas phase for ionization.",
