                What Is Chromatography



Chromatography is a laboratory technique used to separate and analyze the components of a mixture. It involves the use of a stationary phase, such as a solid or a liquid, and a mobile phase, which can be a gas or a liquid. As the mobile phase flows through the stationary phase, the different components of the mixture interact with the stationary phase differently and are separated.

Types -There are many types of chromatography, including

  • Gas chromatography-In this chromatography, mobile phase is a gas and the stationary phase is a solid, such as a column packed with a polymer or a layer of silica on a flat surface.

  • Liquid chromatography- In this chromatography ,the mobile phase is a liquid and the stationary phase is either a solid or a liquid.

  • Thin layer chromatography - It is similar to liquid chromatography, but the stationary phase is a thin layer of silica or alumina on a flat surface.

Advantages -


  • One of the main advantages of chromatography is its ability to separate and analyze complex mixtures. For example, it can be used to identify the components of a chemical compound, to measure the purity of a substance, or to detect trace amounts of contaminants.

  • Chromatography is widely used in a variety of fields, including chemistry, biology, environmental science, and medicine .

  • Chromatography is a very sensitive technique and can detect small amounts of substances, even at the picogram level. It is also relatively quick and easy to use, and the equipment required is widely available and relatively inexpensive.

  • chromatography is an important tool for the separation and analysis of mixtures and is widely used in a variety of scientific and industrial applications.

                                     Canal system in Sycon  A sea creature called a sycon, or scypha , is usually found clinging to rocks or other surfaces. These creatures have tube-shaped bodies that open outward with the help of a hole called an Osculum . They have tiny openings called Spiracles and Ostia all over their bodies to let water in. This water flows through canals inside their bodies and comes out through the Osculum, which is a larger opening used for breathing. We'll observe the shape of this canal system, why it is essential for those animals, type of canal system , and  its significance. The Sycon Type Canal system is the unique feature of the phylum Porifera . This system is also known as the  aquiferous canal system . This system supports the significant function of the body like nutrition, respiration, excretion, etc. History Overview -  Gran...

                                             Types of Egg Hello guys! We'll examine a crucial area of zoology in this blog: different varieties of eggs. So let's define reproduction first before moving on to the subject. Reproduction is the biological process in which a parent is responsible to produce their offsprings which may be of their own kind. Reproduction is a must process for every individual for the continuing existence of the species. As we all know, there are many different species on the planet, and each of them has a unique method of egg production and inside the egg they contain yolk . The yolk is composed of proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals, which are vital for the growth and development of the embryo.  Eggs can be classified into different types based on the amount of yolk they contain. l.  On the basis of the amount of Yolk - Dep...

                                             Aurelia  Aurelia aurita is a type of zooplankton found all over the world. They are see-through and don't have eyes, brains, or hearts. They're usually between 2 to 15 inches wide. Even though they prefer being alone, they get carried together in groups called Blooms by wind and water currents. At night, they look like they're moving through the water like jellyfish, which is why they're sometimes called " jellyfish ".  They have four reproductive organs surrounded by tentacles in their top part. Their body color changes based on what they eat, so they can be blue, pink, or other colors. Let's learn more about Aurelia in detail. Details Of Aurelia Diagram -  Body : The center of the diagram would display the jellyfish's bell-shaped body, often called the " umbrella. " Tentacles : Below the bell, you'd see lon...
