chromatographic methods

Chromatographic methods are laboratory techniques used to separate a mixture into its individual components. This process relies on passing the mixture through a medium (like a column or a thin sheet) where different substances move at different speeds due to their unique properties such as size, charge, or affinity. As they separate, each component can be identified and measured. Chromatography is widely used in fields like medicine, environmental testing, and food safety to analyze complex mixtures efficiently and accurately.
