Advances in Chromatography & HPLC Techniques

Major Chromatographic Techniques

Chromatography basically is a method of separation of compounds from a mixture. This technique is both analytical as well as preparative and is employed widely in industries and also in laboratories. Chemical analysis is done mostly all over the world with chromatography or any other various related to chromatography techniques. Chromatography is a physical technique and has a vast application in chemical field starting from basic organic chemistry to forensic science. Some common applications include lead in water, detection of cocaine in urine, PCB’s in fish and alcohol in blood. Various types of chromatography techniques are- paper chromatography, displacement chromatography, thin layer chromatography, supercritical chromatography, column fluid chromatography, gas chromatography, expanded bed adsorption chromatography, liquid chromatography in various combinations.
