Basic Chromatography Flashcards

1
Q

is the ability to separate molecules using various partitioning characteristics of molecule to remain in a stationary phase versus a mobile phase. Once a molecule is separated from the mixture, it can be isolated and quantified.

Q

Can chromatography identify components?

A

No, it needs a detector.

It always need a detector to identify
chromatographically the separated components. In liquid chromatography,
detector response is NOT a determining
factor for the column and thin-layer efficiencies.
