Chromatography is a separation technique used to separate and analyze different components of a mixture. It works by passing the mixture through a stationary phase, which selectively retains different components based on their properties. The components that are retained more strongly will travel more slowly through the stationary phase, while those that are less strongly retained will travel faster. This difference in retention time allows the components to be separated from each other.
