What Does CIT Stand For?
CIT stands for Cylindrical Ion Trap
Cylindrical Ion Trap (CIT) is a type of mass spectrometry device that utilizes a cylindrical arrangement of electrodes to confine and manipulate ions. This configuration allows for the effective trapping of ions for extended periods, enabling high-resolution mass analysis and improved sensitivity. CITs are commonly used in various fields, including chemistry and biochemistry, for research and analytical applications involving complex mixtures and large biomolecules. The design facilitates efficient ion storage and transport, making it a valuable tool in modern analytical techniques.
