Chromatography explained

Affinity chromatography

Affinity chromatography Affinity chromatography is a chromatographic method of separating biochemical mixtures, based on a highly specific biologic interaction such as that between antigen and antibody , enzyme and substrate , or receptor and ligand . Affinity chromatography combines the size ...

Chiral column chromatography

Chiral column chromatography Chiral column chromatography is a variant of column chromatography , where the stationary phase is chiral instead of achiral. The enantiomer s of the same compound then differ in affinity to the stationary phase, thus they exit the column at different times. The chir ...
