  "term": "Planar chromatography",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A chromatographic technique where the stationary phase is spread as a thin layer on a flat surface, such as a glass plate or plastic sheet. The mobile phase moves through the stationary phase by capillary action or external force, separating components of a mixture. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and paper chromatography are common examples.",
