LC (Liquid Chromatography)

Liquid Chromatography (LC) is a laboratory technique used to separate and identify components in a mixture. The process involves dissolving the mixture in a liquid (mobile phase) and passing it through a column packed with a solid material (stationary phase). Different substances in the mixture interact differently with the stationary phase, causing them to move at varying speeds. This separation allows for individual analysis of each component. LC is widely used in fields like pharmaceuticals, environmental testing, and food safety to detect and quantify specific molecules with high precision.
