Chromotography – What is it?

Chromatography is a physical separation process. Here, the separation of a mixture of substances is allowed by different distribution of the individual components between a stationary and mobile phase. The stationary phase does not move. The sample and a running medium result in the mobile phase. Chromatography is nowadays an integral part of biochemistry, food chemistry, environmental chemistry, etc. Chromatographic analysis methods are used for qualitative and quantitative analysis.
