Abstract:
The most important advances in planar chromatography published between November 1, 2013 and November 1, 2015 are reviewed in this paper. Included are an introduction to the current status of the field; student experiments, books, and reviews; apparatus and techniques for sample preparation and TLC separations; detection and identification of separated zones; quantitative analysis; preparative layer chromatography; and thin layer radiochromatography. Selected applications are given in the various sections of the review.

Principles Of Column Chromatography
High-Performance Liquid Chromatography: Introduction
In HPLC, two phases play a critical role in the separation process:
Chromatographic Resolution
The effectiveness of separation can be evaluated by determining the level of separation between two neighboring peaks in a chromatogram, which represents the individual components of a sample.

Chromatography: Introduction
The phase in which the compounds linger or on which the compounds adsorb is called the stationary phase, whereas the mobile phase is the solvent that carries the solutes to be analyzed. In traditional column chromatography, the mixture flows through the stationary phase, and the compounds partition between the stationary and mobile phases...
Optimizing Chromatographic Separations
Band broadening refers to spreading solute bands as they travel through the column. This broadening can impact resolution. Plate height (H) represents the length required for one theoretical plate. A lower plate height corresponds to...
