GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Science - Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-) / genetics/genotypes
German term or phrase: Ansatz
My question has to do with the meaning of "Ansatz" in this sentence (are there missing words?):

P erklärte, dass Kompartimentierung bedeute, dass ein großer Ansatz räumlich voneinander getrennt werde.

Here is the full paragraph (the topic has to do with a lawsuit about a patent on a method for initiating mutagenesis in organic molecules and the role of compartmentalization in that method):

P führte an, dass in X nicht von Optimierung gesprochen werde. P gab ferner an, dass X eine andere Art der Kompartimentierung benutze. Im Unterschied zu D3 seien patentgemäß alle Mutanten bei der Kompartimentierung vorhanden. Ziel bei X sei eine Vereinzelung der Genotypen. P erklärte, dass Kompartimentierung bedeute, dass ein großer Ansatz räumlich voneinander getrennt werde.

Explanation:
Batch is alright for Ansatz. Could the sentence be translated as "...a large batch be spatially isolated..." since that "voneinander" seems to be problematic?
