A time that is programmed to elapse between applying a test excitation and taking the test measurement In practice, measurements are taken more or less continuously during the dwell period, but the reported measurement is that value occurring when the dwell time elapses
The amount of time that a SIM analyzer remains at a given m/z value The longer the dwell time, the greater the fraction of the ion(s) of interest that reach the detector
It is expressed in term of no of day that a container changed from one status to another e g from under inbound load (UIL) to empty available (MTA) to under outbound load (UOL) The shorter the dwell time, the more efficient the container utilization will be
