[Seavox] New L05 terms

[Moncoiffe, Gwenaelle]

Dear All,

We are proposing to add 2 new instrument categories to L05:

Preferred term: Ion chromatography analysers
Description: Instruments that use ion chromatography to separate ions and polar molecules based on their affinity to an ion exchanger resin. Sample solutions pass through a pressurized chromatographic column where ions are absorbed by the resin and subsequently eluted using an ion extraction liquid. The retention time of different species determines the ionic concentrations in the sample.

Preferred term: Proton transfer reaction mass spectrometers
Description: Instruments that ionise trace gas molecules by proton transfer from protonated water, H3O. Ions of specific mass-to-charge ratios are then quantified in a quadrupole or time-of-flight mass spectrometer.

Please let me know if you have any comments or issues about these 2 new categories or their definitions. If all is well then I'll add them to L05 on Friday.

Many thanks

Gwen
