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
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
STATIONARY PHASE
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
-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
-term to determine a compounds identity
RETENTION TIME (Tr)
a phenomenon based on the electronegativity difference between two atoms
POLARITY
