CHROMATOGRAPHY Chromatography Chromatography basically involves the separation of mixtures due to differences in the distribution coefficient of sample components between 2 different phases. One of these phases is a mobile phase and the other is a stationary phase. Distribution Coefficient Definition: Concentration of component A in stationary phase Concentration of component A in mobile phase Different affinity of these 2 components to stationary phase causes the separation. Kinds of Chromatography 1. Liquid Column Chromatography 2. Gas Liquid Chromatography Liquid Column Chromatography A sample mixture is passed through a column packed with solid particles which may or may not be coated with another liquid. With the proper solvents, packing conditions, some components in the sample will travel the column more slowly than others resulting in the desired separation.

Liquid/Solid Chromatography (adsorption chromatography) A. Normal Phase LSC B. Reverse Phase LSC 2. Liquid/Liquid Chromatography (partition chromatography) A. Normal Phase LLC B. Reverse Phase LLC 3. Ion Exchange Chromatography 4. Gel Permeation Chromatography (exclusion chromatography) Liquid Solid Chromatography Normal phase LS Reverse phase LS d- d+ Si - O - H 30 m Silica Gel The separation mechanism in LSC is based on the competition of the components of the mixture sample for the active sites on an absorbent such as Silica Gel.

Partitioning of the sample between 2 phases delays or retains some components more than others to effect separation.

Small molecules are able to permeate more pores and are, therefore, retained longer than large molecules.
