Define Classification of Chromatography - Basic Separation Technique

Chromatography can be classified depending upon:

• Physiochemical principles/factors,
• The techniques, and
• Stationary (solid/liquid) and mobile phase (liquid/gas)

The classification of chromatography depending on the various physiochemical factors involved include:

i) Adsorption chromatography

ii) Partition chromatography

iii) Exclusion chromatography

iv)  Ion exchange chromatography
