    In chemical analysis: Liquid chromatography

    This procedure can be performed either in a column or on a plane. Columnar liquid chromatography is used for qualitative and quantitative analysis in a manner similar to the way in which gas chromatography is employed. Sometimes retention volumes, rather than retention times,…

  • In separation and purification: Chromatography

    Since the early 1970s, liquid chromatography has developed as the premier separation method for organic substances. Because the mobile phase is a liquid, the requirement for vaporization is eliminated, and therefore LC can separate a much broader range of substances than GC. Species that have been successfully resolved include…

  • elution chromatography
    In chromatography: Liquid chromatography

    This form of chromatography employs a liquid mobile phase. Liquid-solid chromatography utilizes a solid stationary phase, and the major mechanism of retention is adsorption. Popular adsorbents are silica and alumina, which both retain polar compounds. If a polar mobile phase is used, the…

    In chromatography: Liquid chromatographic detectors

    Liquid chromatographic detectors suitable for high-performance columns require clever technology. If the solutes contain structural features that absorb light at certain wavelengths, the decrease in the intensity of the transmitted beam of light compared to the intensity of the incident beam can…

    …a liquid, the technique is liquid chromatography; if it is a gas, the technique is gas chromatography. In a simple liquid chromatographic apparatus the stationary phase is held in place either in a column or on a plane (such as a plate of glass, metal, or plastic or a sheet…

    …in paper chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, liquid chromatography, and gas-liquid chromatography show that individual features of molecular structure determine the chromatographic properties of steroids in a predictable manner. The gas-liquid chromatograph or liquid chromatograph linked directly to the mass spectrometer permits characteristic mass-spectral fragmentation patterns and critical gas-liquid chromatographic data to…
