Abstract

In liquid chromatography, usually referred to simply as LC, the separation of different analytes is based on the interaction between the analyte particles in solution and the solvent molecules (the mobile phase) on the one hand and the interaction between the analytes and the stationary phase on the other. In principle, a distinction is made between two cases:The separation principle—the better/stronger the analyte can interact with one or the other phase, the faster or slower it will move to the other end of the stationary phase—in both cases remains unchanged.
