GC002 GC definitions - Part 1
Elution:
The process in which a mobile phase is continuously passed through or along the
chromatographic bed and the sample is fed to the system as a finite slug.
Chromatographic
processes names are linked to the state of the mobile phase. Hence, the mobile phase
is a gas in GC and a liquid in LC.
In GC, the
sample is vaporized and carried through the column by the carrier gas. The
components of the sample equilibrate into and out the stationary liquid phase
in the column. These equilibriums are dependent on temperature and the
components separate from one another based on their affinities for the stationary
phase and relative vapor pressures.
