Chromatography Techniques

Chromatography Basics

• The fluid that carries a mixture through a structure holding another material is called the mobile phase.

Types of Chromatography

• Chromatography enables the separation, identification, and purification of mixture components.

Chromatography Process

• In chromatography, a mobile phase carrying a mixture moves in contact with a selectively absorbent stationary phase.

Separation Basis

• The separation in chromatography is primarily dependent on the differential partitioning of components between the mobile and stationary phases.

Chromatography Terminology

• The collective term for a set of laboratory techniques for the separation of mixtures is chromatography.

Chromatography Column

• The number of theoretical plates in a chromatography column is described by the term "plate number" or "plate count".

Separation of Constituents

• The primary basis for the separation of constituents in chromatography is the differential partitioning of components between the mobile and stationary phases.

Chromatographic Methods

• Chromatography methods that involve a solid stationary phase and a liquid mobile phase are classified as liquid-solid chromatography.

Laboratory Techniques

• The collective term for a set of laboratory techniques for the separation of mixtures in chromatography is chromatography.

Component Analysis

• Chromatography enables the separation, identification, and purification of components of a mixture for qualitative and quantitative analysis.
