Chromatography is a standard analytical tool for today’s chemists and biochemists — found in most laboratories it is the key technique for separating compounds into their components. Many of the advances in chemistry and biology are based on new techniques being discovered in chromatography — leading to new molecules being discovered. The connection between the science of separation and chemistry is emphasised by the Dutch word for chemistry — scheikunde — which means ‘separation science’.
But this was not always the case. Chromatography was invented by Mikhail Tsvet in the 1900s — he separated the different pigments found in green leaves using tube packed with a solid material. And although this pointed the way to using columns to separate mixtures — the resolution was poor. But in 1942 a paper was published which changed chromatography forever.
