Study Notes
Chromatography Basics
- The collective term for a set of laboratory techniques for the separation of mixtures is chromatography.
Stationary Phase
- The immobile, immiscible phase in chromatography is called the stationary phase.
Mobile Phase
- The mobile phase carries the sample through the stationary phase in chromatography.
Separation of Constituents
- The constituents of a mixture separate in chromatography due to differences in their affinity for the stationary phase.
Basis of Separation
- The separation of components in chromatography is based on differences in their interactions with the stationary phase.
