Chromatography: Concept and Applications

Chromatography:  Concept and Applications Concept:  It is an analytical technique used for the separation of a mixture.  It consists not only separation of, but  also the simultaneous purification of the analytes. Applications:  Chromatography has immense applications in Chemical and Biological Sciences: 1) Forensic Pathology 2) Soil Analysis 3) Detection of spoilage and additives. 4) Determining nutritional quality 5) Investigation of the samples obtained from the crime scenes.. 6) Forensic Pathology. 7 ) Elemental Analysis. 8) Metabolomics and Proteomics There are different modes such as Column mode, Thin Layer Planar mode.
