  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009028",
  "term": "Plate height",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A measure of the efficiency of a chromatographic column, representing the length of the column required for one theoretical plate. A smaller plate height indicates a more efficient column, leading to narrower peaks and better separation. It is typically expressed in units of length, such as millimeters (mm).",
  "synonyms": [
    "height equivalent to one theoretical plate"
