2. the record of the results of a process of
chromatography[2], produced by an instrument which
measures some property related to the concentration of
substances over the course of a chromatographic process.
The record may be printed, for example, on a piece of
paper, showing the concentration of some substance as a
function of time or volume; or it may be retained in a
computer and displayed on a video display terminal.
Note: The analytical methods for determining which substances
have moved to which point on the chromatogram are very
varied, and the records of the results of a
visualization techique, such as autoradiography, may
itself be referred to as a chromatogram.
