Scheme of chromatography

Chromatography is analytical chemistry method which is used (and useful) for the separation of complex mixtures of chemical compounds. The main mechanism of the separation is repeatable distribution of the tested compound in between two different phases. Usually, one phase is solid, fixed in the separation device and the other is moving and flows through [...]
