chromatograph

Mixture separation device

A chromatograph is a device that separates mixtures into their component substances by passing them through a medium where different components move at different rates.

The technique, chromatography, is fundamental to chemistry and biochemistry for analyzing complex mixtures: The lab used a gas chromatograph to identify the compounds in the sample.

To chromatograph is to subject something to this analysis.
