  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-013453",
  "term": "Pulse rate",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The frequency at which discrete packets of ions or electrons are generated or detected in an analytical instrument, such as a mass spectrometer or electron microscope. This rate is a key parameter in pulsed experiments, influencing signal intensity and temporal resolution. It is typically expressed in hertz (Hz).",
