kromatográfiát

Kromatográfiát is the Hungarian term for chromatography, a laboratory technique used to separate mixtures. In chromatography, the mixture is dissolved in a fluid called the mobile phase, which can be a liquid or a gas. This mobile phase carries the mixture through a stationary phase, which is a solid or a liquid supported on a solid. Different components of the mixture travel through the stationary phase at different rates, depending on their physical and chemical properties, such as solubility and adsorption. This differential migration leads to the separation of the components.

There are various types of chromatography, categorized by the mobile and stationary phases used. Common examples include liquid chromatography (LC), gas chromatography (GC), and thin-layer chromatography (TLC). Each method has specific applications in fields like chemistry, biology, medicine, and environmental science for analyzing, identifying, and purifying substances. For instance, chromatography is crucial for drug testing, analyzing food samples, and separating proteins. The principle remains the same: exploiting differences in how substances interact with the mobile and stationary phases to achieve separation.
