chromatography is derived from greek word
CHROMA
GRAPHEIN

TO WRITE
Chromatography was first developed by
RUSSIAN BOTANIST MIKHAIL TSWETT
he produced a colorful separation of plant pigments through a column of calcium carbonate
RUSSIAN BOTANIST MIKHAIL TSWETT
developed into an invaluable laboratory tool for separation and identification of compounds
CHROMATOGRAPHY
are compared to known standards
SEPARATED COMPOUNDS
- this is to show the mechanism of specimen compounds as they travel to a medium and how they interact together with mobile and stationary phases.
- use to an unknown substance measurement
CHROMATOGRAPHY
smallest unit of matter
ATOM
consist of atom or things that cannot be broken down
ELEMENT
combined or union of elements or two or more atoms
COMPOUND
can either be liquid or gas
MOBILE PHASE
- firm or not moving
- a place wherein compounds are to be separated
STATIONARY PHASE
- molecule attraction
- the compound is adsorbed to a solid support such as silica or alumina
ADSORPTION
separates compounds based on their partition between the liquid mobile phase and liquid stationary phase coated on a solid support
PARTITION
uses column packing material that has charge-bearing functional groups attached to a polymer matrix
ION-EXCHANGE CHROMATOGRAPHY
used immobilized biochemical ligands as the stationary phase to separate a few solutes from other untreated solutes
AFFINITY CHROMATOGRAPHY
- separates molecules according to different sizes
-As the solute travel through, small molecules enter the pores whereas the larger ones, cannot and will elute first from the column
SIZE EXCLUSION
molecule separation or removal from another (eluent)
ELUTION
-designed for purification
COLUMN
the stationary phase is a thin film of liquid that is fixed onto small granular particles packed into the column
PACKED
can be made narrower than packed columns because their stationary liquid phase is actually coated as a very thin film directly onto the column’s inner wall
CAPILLARY
- the time it takes for a compound to elute
- this value is characteristic of a compound and is related to the strength of its interaction with the stationary and mobile phase
-term to determine a compounds identity
RETENTION TIME (Tr)
a phenomenon based on the electronegativity difference between two atoms
POLARITY
phenomenon of nonpolar (hydrophobic molecules) to not dissolving water (e.g oil and waxes)
HYDROPHOBICITY
useful in volatile compounds or compounds that can be easily converted to volatile form
GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY
retention of the compound in GC is determined by its __
- VAPOR PRESSURE
- VOLATILITY
retention of the compound in GC is determined by its vapor pressure and volatility depending on the interaction on the __
STATIONARY PHASE
act as mobile phase
GAS CYLINDER
should be high purity and flow must be tightly controlled to ensure optimum column efficiency and reproducibility
CARRIER GAS
samples are injected using an
AUTOMATED SYRINGE PIPET SYSTEM
- the injection port
- is heated very high temperatures
PLASTIC SEPTUM
must be packed
COLUMN
change indicator
DETECTOR
- for data and acquisition
- must be automated to provide more precise and efficient separation
COMPUTER
is necessary a reaction to make it volatile
DERIVATIZATION
GC Applications
ORGANIC MOLECULES AND DRUGS
2 types of SP in GC
- SOLID ABSORBENT
- COATED LIQUIDS
-uses low temperature for separation to achieve better separation of thermolabile compounds
LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY
- it is simple to recover a sample
- sample can be processed further or reanalyzed
- the mobile phase can be removed
-suitable alternative of GC with some restrictions
- similar in many aspect of GC and therefore instrumentation is similar
LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY
manual or automatic, achieved using a syringe and depositing the sample loop
- uses microprocessor control autosampler
SAMPLE INJECTOR
- must provide precise and accurate rate flow
- must have internal volume that does not react with solvent
MECHANICAL PUMP
Mechanical pump must provide precise and accurate rate flow at ____
6000PSI pressure
