…and the sample. In thin-layer chromatography, the analyte mixture moves up and separates along the coated sheet under the volatile mobile phase. In gas chromatography, the gas phase separates the volatile analytes. A common method of chromatography using liquid as a mobile phase is high-performance liquid chromatography…
