Chromatography

Chromatography is the technique in which the components of a mixture are separated by the differential migration. In all types of chromatography, there exists a stationary phase and a mobile phase. The stationary phase holds the mixture, while the mobile phase passes through it and the process is affected by different factors. the different components of the mixture separate from one another and get absorbed/adsorbed onto the stationary phase. The substance being separated is known as an analyte and its separation time is known as the retention time.

There are various types of chromatographic techniques including Paper chromatography, Thin layer chromatography or TLC, Column chromatography, Size exchange chromatography, Ion exchange chromatography, High-performance liquid chromatography or HPLC, Gas chromatography etc.

This separation procedure requires a number of spare accessories, samples, and apparatus. These include chromatography columns, ovens, ion-exchange resins, cartridges, seal caps, silica gel products, fraction collectors, syringes, fittings, and valves etc. All of these products are available from various brands such as EMD Millipore, Fisher Scientific, PCI Analytics, Analtech USA, Machery Nagel Germany and others, on Biomall.in.
