Spanish term

altura máxima del pico

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals
From the description of the process of preparation of a plasma pool for a lyophilized immunoglobulin powder:

"La fracción IgG se recoge en un tanque sanitizado hasta que la cola de elución de IgG tenga la mitad o dos tercios de la **altura máxima del pico**."

My attempt:

"The IgG fraction is collected in a sanitized tank until the IgG elution tail is at half or two thirds the maximum peak height [?]".

I'm not certain of my translation of "altura máxima del pico", or of what the term refers to. Any advice from experts in the field would be greatly appreciated.

agree Peter van der Hoek : As this is about the measurement of immunoglobulin G (IgG), you're absolutely right. So is the asker, of course!

Thanks Peter!
agree Muriel Vasconcellos : It sounds a little redundant, but I think the translator has to be faithful to the original text in this case.
