The compound mixture is dissolved in a fluid known as mobile phase, which carries it through a structure holding another material known as stationary phase. The various constituents of the compound mixture travel at different speeds due to differences in the compound's partition coefficient which allows the separation based on differential partitioning between the two phases resulting in differential retention on the stationary phase, thus performing the separation. Nowadays, the use of chromatography is associated with a wide range of detection systems, including electrochemical, photometric and mass spectrometry, and plays a vital role in the advancement of science. The authors of Chromatography - the Most Versatile Method of Chemical Analysis have contributed chapters which focus on purification, analysis, models, retention parameters and sample preparation with different applications in biotechnology, ecology, environment, food and toxicology.
