  "term": "Peak resolution",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A quantitative measure of the separation between two adjacent peaks in a chromatogram or spectrum. It is calculated based on the distance between the peak maxima and their average peak widths. A resolution of 1.5 is generally considered baseline separation, indicating that the two components are completely resolved.",
