  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-010897",
  "term": "Single-focusing mass spectrometer",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A type of mass spectrometer that uses a single electric or magnetic sector to focus ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio. This design achieves velocity focusing, where ions of the same mass-to-charge ratio but different kinetic energies are brought to a common focal point. It provides moderate resolution for mass analysis.",
