Fractionation vs Fractogram - What's the difference?

fractionation | fractogram |

As nouns the difference between fractionation and fractogram

is that fractionation is a separation process in which a certain quantity of a mixture is divided up into smaller quantities (fractions) in which the composition changes according to a gradient while fractogram is a graph of a detection signal vs. time, derived from a field-flow fractionation process, in which various substances present in a fluid get separated based on their flow velocities under some applied external influence, such as an electric field.
