The technique is based on a polarity interplay between the sample and two other substances called the solid (or stationary) phase, and the mobile phase, which can be a liquid or a gas. It works by moving different substances at different speeds through a medium, allowing scientists to identify and measure the amounts of each component. The stationary phase may be packed in a. Chromatography is a separation technique that takes advantage of the different products solubilities and relative affinities for the stationary phase used. There are many types of chromatography - e. The mobile phase may be either a liquid or a gas, while the.
