Chromatography is a technique that divides the organic and inorganic compounds of a mixture. In solution or suspension, the mixture passes through a medium where the components move at different speeds. Therefore, chromatography can spread, analyze and purify molecules effectively. Due to this, the usage of chromatography can be seen in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, F&D, hospitals, clinics, and environmental agencies. For instance, chromatography is used for quality control in the F&B industry, and this is done by separating and analyzing vitamins, proteins, additives, amino acids, and preservatives. The usage of chromatography instruments has been in existence for more than 40 years now. According to the World Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, more than 60% of chemical analysis is done by chromatography.
