Description

Chromatography is a laboratory technique used to separate and analyze mixtures of substances into their individual components. It works on the principle that different substances in a mixture have different affinities for a stationary phase and a mobile phase. During chromatography, the mixture is first dissolved in a solvent and then passed through a stationary phase, which may be a solid or a liquid. As the mixture travels through the stationary phase, the components separate based on their interactions with the stationary phase and the mobile phase. This separation results in the formation of distinct bands or peaks, which can be analyzed to identify and quantify the individual components of the mixture. Chromatography is widely used in various fields, including analytical chemistry, biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, forensics, and environmental science, for purposes such as drug testing, quality control, environmental monitoring, and research.
