  "term": "Total ion current profile",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A plot showing the sum of the ion currents for all detected ions as a function of acquisition time in a mass spectrometry experiment. This profile provides an overall representation of the ionizable components present in a sample over the course of an analysis. It is commonly used to monitor the general progress of a chromatographic separation coupled with mass spectrometry.",
