Toroidal ion trap

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012120",
  "term": "Toroidal ion trap",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A type of ion trap mass analyzer where ions are confined in a toroidal (doughnut-shaped) electric field. This geometry allows for a larger ion storage capacity and potentially higher ion trapping efficiencies compared to linear or quadrupole ion traps. Ions are typically introduced and ejected through apertures in the toroid.",
