chromatographs
Mixture analysis machines
Chromatographs are instruments that separate mixtures into their component substances by passing them through a medium where different compounds move at different rates.
The technique is fundamental to chemistry and biology for analyzing complex samples: The lab's chromatographs identified trace pesticides in the water supply.
As a verb, to chromatograph is to subject a sample to this process.
