What Does NICI Stand For?
NICI stands for Negative Ion Chemical Ionization
NICI, or Negative Ion Chemical Ionization, is an analytical technique used in mass spectrometry to enhance the detection of analytes by forming negatively charged ions. This method is particularly effective for polar and thermally labile compounds, allowing for improved sensitivity and selectivity in the analysis of complex mixtures. By utilizing a reagent gas to facilitate the ionization process, NICI enables the identification and quantification of various substances in fields such as environmental science, pharmaceuticals, and biochemistry.
