Understanding Column Chromatography: Methodology, Advantages, Disadvantages, and Applications
Column chromatography, a type of adsorption chromatography, involves separating components based on their affinity to an adsorbent. The methodology includes passing a solvent through a column to improve separation, obtaining a chromatogram, and eluting components for analysis. The principle relies o

Understanding Paper and Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) in Biochemistry
Chromatography techniques are used in laboratories to separate and identify components of mixtures. Paper chromatography is a type where a developing solution travels up a filter paper, separating compounds based on their affinity to the stationary phase. Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) is a similar

Understanding Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) Process
A TLC plate coated with an adsorbent is used for separation and analysis. Spot samples, develop plates carefully, visualize spots, calculate Rf values, and interpret data to identify compounds based on their movement. TLC helps in identifying unknown substances and estimating sample purity.

Understanding Adsorption Process in Physical Pharmacy Lab
Adsorption is a significant process in physical pharmacy involving the attachment of solutes or gaseous molecules onto the surface of a solid. This process can be strong or weak depending on the forces between the solid surface and the gas/solute. Types include physical (reversible) and chemical (ir
