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
