  "term": "Chromatography",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A physical method of separation in which components of a mixture are separated by differential distribution between two phases: a stationary phase and a mobile phase. The mobile phase carries the sample through or over the stationary phase, and components separate based on their varying affinities for each phase. This technique is widely used for analysis, purification, and identification of substances.",
