Chromatology

Chromatography is the collective term for a set of ;ab techniques to seperate mixtures. It involves passing a mixture dissolved in a "mobile phase" through a stationary phase, which separates the anayte to be measured from other molecules in the mixture based on differential partitioning between the mobile and stationary phases. Subtle differences in a compound's partition coefficient result in differential retention on the stationary phase and thus changing the separation.

Reflections on Term 2 science

I feel that I have learnt a lot in term 2. The most interesting thing that I learnt was chromatography, which was to separate colors. In that lab lesson, I managed to separate different colors from two black ink. I had a lot of fun doing that.
