Study Notes
Chromatography
- HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) is a type of liquid chromatography that uses high pressure to achieve better separation and faster analysis.
- The main difference between liquid chromatography and HPLC is the use of high pressure in HPLC, which allows for better separation and faster analysis.
HPLC System Components
- The pump in an HPLC system is used to force the mobile phase through the column at high pressure.
Liquid Chromatography Phases
- The mobile phase in liquid chromatography is the solvent that carries the sample through the column.
- The stationary phase in liquid chromatography is the solid material in the column that separates the sample components based on their interactions.
Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH)
- CGH is a technique used to analyze copy number variations in DNA samples without the need for culturing cells.
- The primary aim of CGH is to detect regional changes in DNA copy number between a test and a reference genome.
- CGH has an improved resolution of 5-20 Mb compared to giemsa banding (5-10 Mb) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) (10-20 Mb).
- CGH can detect gains and losses of DNA segments, including amplifications and deletions.
- CGH was originally developed for cancer research to detect DNA copy number changes in tumors.
