What is chromatographs?

Chromatography is a separation technique used to separate the components of a mixture. 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. The separated components can then be identified and quantified. It is commonly used in analytical chemistry, biochemistry, and environmental science for analyzing complex mixtures, purifying substances, and monitoring chemical reactions.
