Partition Chromatography

Partition chromatography is method of separation in which the components present in the mixture get distributed more likely into two liquid phases because of differences in partition coefficients. In Partition chromatography, the molecules are separated in between two phases i.e. both stationary phase and mobile phase are in same phase. So molecules get dispersed into either phase preferentially.  The partition chromatography is the basic principle involved in many separation techniques like high performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography. Partition chromatography is basically understood as a method of separation of solutes utilizing the partition of the solutes between two liquid phases. Paper chromatography and High performance TLC also works on the principle of the same
