Chromatography basically is a method of separation of compounds from a mixture. The technique is both analytical and preparative and is employed widely in industries as well as in laboratories. Chemical analysis is mostly done all over the world with chromatography or any other various techniques related to chromatography. Chromatography is a physical technique and has a vast application in chemical field starting from basic organic chemistry to forensic science. Some common applications include lead in water, detection of cocaine in urine, PCB’s in fish and alcohol in blood. Various types of chromatography techniques are- paper chromatography, displacement chromatography, thin layer chromatography, super-critical chromatography, column fluid chromatography, gas chromatography, expanded bed adsorption chromatography, liquid chromatography in various combinations.
