Study Notes

Chromatography Basics

The purpose of preparative chromatography is to isolate and purify a specific compound or a mixture of compounds on a large scale, often for further use or analysis.

Chromatography Components

The mobile phase in chromatography is the solvent or mixture of solvents that flows through the system, carrying the sample with it.
The stationary phase in chromatography is the solid or liquid material that is stationary in the system, and interacts with the sample to separate its components.

Chromatography Separation

The separation of components in chromatography is caused by the different interactions between the sample components and the stationary phase, resulting in different rates of migration through the system.
The basis of separation in chromatography is the varying affinity of the sample components for the stationary phase, which affects their migration rates and ultimately results in their separation.
