  "term": "Rate of fluid consumption",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The volume of a liquid sample that is aspirated and consumed by a device per unit of time. In analytical chemistry, this parameter is particularly relevant for techniques like flame atomic absorption spectrometry, where a nebulizer introduces the sample into a flame. The rate is typically measured in milliliters per minute (mL/min) and affects the sensitivity and stability of the analytical signal.",
