Introduction to High Performance Liquid Chromatography by Lab-Training.com

Chromatography is the most widely used laboratory technique for separation, identification and
quantification of components of liquid and gaseous mixtures. Solid mixtures are also analyzed by first converting them to a liquid or gaseous state, using suitable sample preparation techniques. Differential affinity of components between the carrier and stationary phases forms the basis of separation. Components retained by stationary phase have slower migration rates than unretained or partially retained components.
