This animation site deals specifically with diode array detection for liquid chromatography. The animations are short (one to two minutes) and can easily be shown in class as part of a lecture. […]
This site provides a useful applet that demonstrates countercurrent extraction. The explanation of the method is short, but good. The level is appropriate for undergraduate students. The Applet itself is well designed […]
This site provides a Word document that describes a GC experiment involving the separation and quantitation of four butyl alcohol isomers. It has a complete background about the components of a GC […]
This site discusses many of the details in how ro convert a traditional HPLC system into a capillary HPLC system. Included in the discussion is how to use splitting to get to […]
This site has a series of links to QuickTime movies that animate the chromatographic process. The movies show the effect of changing K, L, and N on peak width and separation. The […]
This EPA site provides a brief overview of EPA remediation methods and projects. The links “Remediation” and “Characterization and Monitoring” have sub-links that provide analytically relevant materials. Many applications and case-specific studies […]
This site contains standard definitions related to chromatgraphy similar to treatments found in analytical textbooks. It introduces the beginning student to LC concepts relevant to biochemistry and includes an example of choosing […]
This site is an introductory lecture in outline form about chromatography. It appears directed toward biochemical separations. The coverage is broad but not deep. Discussions of counter-current separations, gel permeation, and ion […]
This site contains a good review of GC detectors that is linked to animated files describing the hardware and principles of operation for GC/MS. From this site, links are available to other […]
This chromatography experiment is designed to introduce students to the theory of chromatographic separation of mixtures and packed column chromatography. A section on instrument troubleshooting may be included as an additional optional […]
This website gives the IUPAC approved definitions in the field of chromatography. It is critical for students to appreciate the importance of using standardized nomenclature and definitions. The website is available here […]
