elution chromatography
Quick Summary
Elution chromatography is a method used in analytical chemistry to separate components of a mixture. In this technique, a mobile phase (either liquid or gas) continuously flows through a stationary phase packed within a column. As the mixture travels through the column, its components distribute themselves based on their differing affinities for the stationary and mobile phases. Components with a stronger attraction to the stationary phase move more slowly and take longer to elute (exit the column), while those less attracted move faster. This differential migration allows for the separation of the mixture's constituents, which are then detected as they emerge from the column.123
