Study Notes
Separation Mechanisms
- Partitioning is a separation mechanism used in Gas Chromatography (GC) and Liquid Chromatography (LC)
Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE)
- SPE is widely used in environmental analysis, food testing, and forensic toxicology
High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
- HPLC is characterized by high resolution power
- HPLC provides separation through high pressure created by small particles at the column (not low pressure)
Electrophoresis
- One advantage of electrophoresis is that it has very high resolution
- In electrophoresis, the positive pole is an anode (not cathode)
- Adding coloring to a sample can slow down confirmation at gel electrophoresis
Spectrophotometry
- The proportion of light absorbed depends on the number of molecules it interacts with in a spectrophotometer
Chromatography
- Chromatography is a group of methods based on the separation of substances, not on the absorption of light
- Chromatography can be used to separate the components of ink
