Introduction Chromatography is a separation technique that is used to separate and identify individual components of a mixture. The technique relies on the differential affinities of the components of the mixture for a stationary phase and a mobile phase The stationary phase is a material that is fixed in place and the mobile phase is a fluid that moves through the stationary phase. The components of the mixture interact differently with the stationary phase and the mobile phase, which results in their separation. Chromatography has a wide range of applications in various fields, including chemistry, biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, food science, ...
