  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009707",
  "term": "Pyrolysis mass spectrometry",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A technique that involves the thermal decomposition of a sample in an inert atmosphere, followed by the analysis of the volatile products using a mass spectrometer. This method provides information about the chemical composition and structure of complex, non-volatile materials. The pyrolysis temperature and heating rate are carefully controlled parameters.",
