Chromatography

Description: Chromatography is a technique used in chemistry to separate and analyze the constituents of a mixture. It involves the separation of components based on their differing affinities to a stationary phase and a mobile phase. This widely utilized method finds applications in various fields including analytical chemistry, biochemistry, forensics, and environmental science.

Examples:

1. Gas chromatography is a popular analytical technique used to separate and identify volatile compounds in a sample, such as in the analysis of environmental pollutants.
2. In high-performance liquid chromatography, the sample is injected into a liquid mobile phase which passes through a packed column, allowing for efficient separation of components.
3. Thin-layer chromatography is often employed in pharmaceutical research to identify and analyze drug compounds using a thin layer of stationary phase.
