  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-011326",
  "term": "Static field",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A time-invariant electric or magnetic field used in mass spectrometry to separate ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio. This field provides a constant force on charged particles, allowing for their deflection and focusing. In magnetic sector mass spectrometers, a static magnetic field is employed for ion momentum analysis.",
