Sensitivity

Orange Book Entry

This is the observed change in ion curent per unit mass of sample flow through the Ion Source and is measured in coulomb per microgram, C ??????????????g-1. An alternative measure of sensitivity, more suitable for gases, is the observed change in partial pressure of the sample in the Ion Source, expressed in ampere per pascal, A/Pa.
