Advanced separation methods for complex samples

Chromatography; chromatography

A technique for separating the constituents of a mixture using their different interactions in a stationary and mobile phase.

Chromatographie en phases inversées; reversed phase chromatography

Liquid chromatography in which the column is filled with an apolar phase, and the mobile phase is a polar mixture of water + organic modifier, methanol or acetonitrile.

Chromatographie en phases normales; normal phase chromatography

Liquid chromatography in which the column is filled with a polar phase, and the mobile phase is a mixture of low-polarity solvents, e.g. heptane + propanol.

Efficacité; efficiency

Capacity of a chromatographic column to produce fine peaks. Efficiency is measured in theoretical...
