Chromatography

Chromatography is an analytical technique used in separating mixtures of chemical compounds. It is based on the different affinity of different components in a mixture for a stationary phase and a mobile phase. This technique has wide applications in determining the structure of organic molecules and separating them from the mixture. It is used in various scientific fields such as biochemistry, forensic science and environmental analysis. Chromatography is essential in many industrial processes and is indispensable in drug discovery and development, food safety and quality control.
