-|def=The ratio of the maximum ion current recorded at a specified m/z value to the ion current arising from an isotopic variant of the same species recorded at an adjacent m/z value 1 unit removed for a singly charged ion.
+|def=
+Ratio of the maximum [[ion]] current recorded at a specified [[m/z]] value to the maximum ion current arising from the same species recorded at a neighbouring m/z value.
+'''Note''': The abundance sensitivity is a measure of the contribution of the peak tail of a major isotope (with a certain m/z value) to an adjacent m/z value which in some cases might more than 1 m/z removed. Its value is dependent on the [[resolving power]] of the [[mass spectrometer]].
