目から鱗のマススペクトロメトリー
第12回「Total Ion Chromatogram」と「TIC」
∼「TIC」はトータルイオンクロマトグラムではありません∼

抄録

In terms related to mass spectrometry, “TIC” should be used as an abbreviation for “total ion current.” However, many mass spectrometrists use “TIC” as an abbreviation for “total ion chromatogram” while referring to “total ion current chromatogram,” which is incorrect. Another common misunderstanding related to abbreviations is the usage of “MCP” as an abbreviation for “multichannel plate,” which should be used for “microchannel plate.”
