An Introduction to Chromatography • What is chromatography? • The separation of a mixture by distribution of its components between a mobile and stationary phase over time • mobile phase = solvent or gas • stationary phase = column packing material
Purpose of Chromatography • Analytical - determine chemical composition of a sample • Preparative - purify and collect one or more components of a sample
