French term

chargé

French to English Science Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng chromatography
I thought this would be "loaded," but I can't find "loaded" used in this context.

Le chromatogramme apparaît chargé dans la région des acides gras de C14 à C 16, certains pics pourraient correspondre à des acides gras, d’autres ne correspondent pas à des acides gras que l’on connaît.

crowded

My feeling is that this is bad writing on the source's part - you simply wouldn't use "chargé" in this meaning in a polite setting. Anyway, the meaning is that there is lot of peaks in this specific region of the chromatogram. I think "crowded" carries that pretty well.
