Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) is a simple, quick, and cost-effective method used for separating and identifying compounds in a mixture. It is widely used in laboratories for qualitative analysis, especially in the fields of chemistry, biochemistry, and pharmacy. TLC helps to determine the purity of substances and monitor the progress of reactions. Principle of TLC … Read more
Partition column chromatography is a type of liquid-liquid chromatography where separation is based on the partitioning of components between two immiscible liquid phases—one as the stationary phase and the other as the mobile phase. This technique is commonly used for separating mixtures of compounds with varying solubilities and plays an important role in pharmaceutical, biochemical, … Read more
Adsorption chromatography is a separation technique based on the differential adsorption of compounds onto a solid stationary phase. It is widely used to purify and separate chemical compounds based on their interaction with the adsorbent material. The process relies on the principle that different molecules have varying degrees of affinity to the surface of a … Read more
Introduction Ion Exchange Chromatography (IEC) is a powerful and versatile separation technique primarily used to purify proteins, peptides, amino acids, and other charged biomolecules based on their ionic charge. It separates molecules by their affinity to charged ion-exchange resins in the stationary phase. This technique is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry, biochemical research, water … Read more
Gel chromatography, also known as size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), is a separation technique used primarily for separating molecules based on their size. It is widely used for purifying proteins, polysaccharides, and other macromolecules. In this technique, molecules are separated as they pass through a column filled with porous gel beads, and larger molecules elute (exit) from … Read more
Introduction to Affinity Chromatography Affinity chromatography is a type of liquid chromatography used for the separation, purification, or specific analysis of sample components. It is based on the principle of affinity, which refers to reversible biological interactions or molecular recognition between two molecules, typically an analyte and a ligand. These interactions are driven by the … Read more
