|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The collective term for a set of laboratory techniques for the separation of mixtures; The mixture is dissolved in a fluid called the mobile phase, which carries it through a structure holding another material called the stationary phase. The various constituents of the mixture travel at different speeds, causing them to separate |

Term
|
Definition
| Used to test water samples to look for pollution in lakes and rivers, also to analyze metal ions and organic compounds in solutions. Liquid chromatography uses liquids |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Used in airports to detect bombs and in forensics to analyze fibers and blood found at a crime scene. Helium is used to move a gaseous mixture through a column of absorbent material. |
|
|
Term
| Thin- Layer Chromatography |
|
Definition
| Uses an absorbent material on flat glass or plastic plates. IT is a simple and rapid method to check the purity of an organic compound, mostly to detect pesticide or insecticide residues in food. Thin-layer chromatography is also used in forensics to analyze the dye composition of fibers |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Uses a strip of paper as the stationary phase. Capillary action is used to pull the solvents up through the paper and separate the solutes. This is the most common form of Chromatography. |
