  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-002731",
  "term": "Cross-sectional area of the column",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The internal area of a chromatographic column perpendicular to the direction of flow. This area is calculated from the internal diameter of the column, assuming a circular cross-section. It influences the flow rate and the overall capacity of the column in separation processes, often expressed in square millimeters.",
