Study Notes
Chromatography Basics
- Sample introduction is the primary purpose of the sample in chromatography
Chromatography Process
- Solvent plays a crucial role in creating the mobile phase in chromatography
Protein Separation and Purification
- Affinity chromatography technique is particularly effective in separating and purifying proteins
Component Migration
- Lighter components of a mixture migrate faster in chromatography due to lesser attraction to the stationary phase
High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
- Mobile phase in HPLC carries the sample through the column, facilitating the separation process
