Study Notes

Chromatography Basics

The purpose of preparative chromatography is to separate and isolate the components of a mixture, typically on a large scale, to obtain pure substances.

Mobile Phase Role

The mobile phase in chromatography plays a crucial role in separating the constituents of a mixture, as it carries the mixture through the stationary phase, allowing the components to interact and separate.

Separation Mechanism

In chromatography, the constituents of a mixture separate due to differences in their affinity for the stationary phase and the mobile phase, resulting in distinct retention times.

Stationary Phase Interactions

The factor that affects the differential retention on the stationary phase in chromatography is the varying degrees of attraction and interaction between the constituents of the mixture and the stationary phase.

Analytical Chromatography

Analytical chromatography is the type of chromatography that aims to analyze and identify the components of a mixture, typically on a small scale, to understand the composition and properties of the mixture.
