Chromatography: Classification, Basic Terms and MCQ with Answers

Chromatography :-

Definition :- chromatography is the method of separation of components from complex mixture by a continuous distribution of the compenent between two phase.

Two phase are 1. Stationary phases 2. Mobile phase ( moving on stationary phase)

Chromatography meaning is colour writing.

Force that involve in chromatography :-

• Electrostatic force
• Hydrogen bonding force
• London force

Basic term of Chromatography :-

•  Analyte :- substance for separation.
• Elution :- is a process of removing adsorbed material from stationary phase by the movement of mobile phase.
• Eluent :- It is a solvent that used for  separation of absorbed material from stationary phase.
• Eluate :- is a liquid solution that is a result from Elution.
• Chromatogram :- It is a graphical represention of Chromatography. Solute concentration vs Elution time ot Elution volume.
• Counter current chromatography ( ccc) :- is a type of liquid- liquid Chromatography where m.p. and s.p both are liquid.
• Polar compound :- A compound that hold by stationary phase
• Non polar compound :- A compound moving by Mobile phase.
• Reversed phase is only chromatography that m.p. has more polar compound than stationary phase.
• Retention Time :- Time required to elute one half of the compound from the column as indicated by peak maximum.
• Retention volume :- volume of m.p. required to elute one half of the compound from the column as indicated by peak maximum.
• Non Hazardous substitution for RIA is HPLC.

Classification of Chromatography :-

1. Classification based on Method geometry or type of separation bed used :-

A. Planar chromatography :- paper and thin layer Chromatography

B. Column chromatography :- GC, HPLC and SFC

2. Classified based on type of mobile phase or stationary phase

A. Stationary phase :- HPLC and GLC

B. Stationary phase :- GSC

3. Classification according to the mechanism of separation :-

A. Adsorption chromatography :- GSC

B. Partition Chromatography :- liquid liquid Chromatography

C. Affinity chromatography

D. Ion exchange chromatography

E. Molecular exclusion chromatography.
