LC|Separation Modes

Liquid Chromatography Separation Modes

Chromatography is widely used because it can separate many different analytes. These analytes can be separated based on various molecular characteristics, as demonstrated by the separation modes listed here.

Reversed Phase
Non-Polar stationary phases used with polar mobile phase to separate hydrophobic compounds differing in the type and number of polar groups they contain.
