Answers
Chromatography is the method used to separate drugs from the blood.
Chromatography is a technique used to separate components in a mixture on the basis of them being mixed as mobile phase i.e. liquid or gas and stationary phase i.e. solid or liquid.
It is also used to separate colors in a dye, pigments from natural color besides drugs from liquid.
Answer :
Chromatography is used to separate drugs from blood.
According to Wikipedia, 'Chromatography is a laboratory technique for the separation of a mixture. The mixture is dissolved in a fluid called the mobile phase, which carries it through a structure holding another material called the stationary phase. The various constituents of the mixture travel at different speeds, causing them to separate. The separation is 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 affect the separation.
Chromatographic techniques have been used in blood processing and purification since the 1980s. It has emerged as an effective method of purifying blood components for therapeutic use.'
