Basics of Chromatography 101
YoungIn Chromass Global・3 minutes read
Chromatography is an analytical technique that separates mixtures into components using a stationary and mobile phase, with gas chromatography best for volatile compounds and liquid chromatography for non-volatile compounds.
Insights
- Gas chromatography (GC) is best suited for volatile compounds with molecular weights under 500, while liquid chromatography (LC) has no molecular weight restrictions, making it ideal for non-volatile and soluble compounds.
- Chromatography involves a mobile phase carrying a mixture and a stationary phase where separation occurs, allowing for the analysis and isolation of individual components within complex mixtures.

Analyzing mixtures: Gas vs. liquid chromatography
- Chromatography is an analytical technique used to separate complex mixtures into individual components, with the process involving a mobile phase carrying the mixture and a stationary phase where separation occurs.
- The types of chromatography include gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (LC), with GC analyzing compounds under 500 molecular weight and suitable for volatile compounds, while LC has no molecular weight limitations and is ideal for non-volatile and soluble compounds.
