What is chromatography?

Chromatographic separation

Cs
Distribution constant, K =
Cm

2
Chapter 8-NTLP

Principles
 Physical method of separation that distributes
components to separate between two phases
moves in a definite direction.
 stationary phase
 mobile phases
 affinity

 Analytical - determine chemical composition


 Preparative - purify and collect one or more
components of a sample

Classification of Methods

 Mobile phase
 Stationary phase performance
 Attractive forces

Thin layer chromatography – TLC


 TLC - liquid chromatography
 A mobile phase (developing solvent)
 A stationary phase (a plate or strip coated)
 Analysis is performed on a flat surface under atmospheric
pressure and room temperature

 Simple, fast, easy, low cost technique in qualitative


and quantitative chromatographic analysis.

Thin layer chromatography – TLC


 The two most common classes of TLC
 Normal phase
 Reversed phase

 Steps in TLC analysis
 Prepare apparatus (developing chamber)
 Prepare stationary phase layer and mobile phase
 Prepare sample and Apply it on the sorbent
 Develop the plate (running)
