-
Technique for separating gas mixtures in which the gas is passed through a long column containing a fixed absorbent phase that separates the gas mixture into its component parts.CRISP ThesaurusNational Institutes of Health, 2006
-
(chromatography, gas) Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.NLM Medical Subject HeadingsU.S. National Library of Medicine, 2021
