Advanced separation methods
Advanced separation methods for complex samples

If the desired product can be obtained using simple methods, these will always be used. But separating the constituents of a complex mixture is rarely possible using simple methods alone. So, over the years, analytical chemists have developed increasingly effective methods for isolating the desired molecule from a complex mixture. Advanced separation methods include chromatographic and electrophoretic methods. The modern trend is to do things faster and better without impacting the environment. This trend has led to the miniaturization of all advanced separation systems.
