Polar water molecules are held inside the void space of the cellulose network of the paper. The difference between TLC and paper chromatography is that the stationary phase in TLC is a layer of adsorbent (usually silica gel, or aluminium oxide), and the stationary phase in paper chromatography is less absorbent paper.
In reversed phase chromatography, the most polar compounds elute first with the more nonpolar compounds eluting later. The mobile phase is generally a mixture of water and miscible polarity-modifying organic solvent, such as methanol, acetonitrile or THF. Retention increases as the fraction of the polar solvent (water) in the mobile phase is ...
Paper chromatography is a technique that involves placing a small dot or line of sample solution onto a strip of chromatography paper. The paper is placed in a container with a shallow layer of solvent and sealed. As the solvent rises through the paper, it meets the sample mixture, which starts to travel up the paper with the solvent.
Reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RP-LC) is a mode of liquid chromatography in which non-polar stationary phase and polar mobile phases are used for the separation of organic compounds. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The vast majority of separations and analyses using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in recent years are done using the ...
Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) is a chromatography technique that separates components in non-volatile mixtures. [1]It is performed on a TLC plate made up of a non-reactive solid coated with a thin layer of adsorbent material. [2]
In the chromatography of a glow stick solution, a piece of chalk, a highly polar substance, is used as the stationary phase while comparatively less-polar solvents like acetone and 91% isopropyl alcohol can be used as the mobile phase. [1] Chalk is made up of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) or calcium sulfate (CaSO 4), [3] and therefore contains ions.
In chromatography, the retardation factor (R) is the fraction of an analyte in the mobile phase of a chromatographic system. [1] In planar chromatography in particular, the retardation factor R F is defined as the ratio of the distance traveled by the center of a spot to the distance traveled by the solvent front. [2]
In this application, due to silica gel's polarity, non-polar components tend to elute before more polar ones, hence the name normal phase chromatography. However, when hydrophobic groups (such as C 18 groups) are attached to the silica gel then polar components elute first and the method is referred to as reverse phase chromatography.
