Chromatography is primarily a separation technique rather than an analysis method.
The process relies on the relative affinity of analytes to stationary and mobile phases for effective separation.
Different types of chromatography, such as liquid and gas chromatography, serve distinct purposes in environmental analysis.
A technique used to separate mixtures based on the differential affinities of the components to stationary and mobile phases.
The phase that does not move in chromatography, which interacts with the analytes to facilitate separation.
The phase that moves through the stationary phase, carrying the analytes with it.
The tendency of an analyte to interact with one phase over another, impacting its movement during chromatography.
