Chromatography Column

This interactive simulator explores Chromatography Column in Chemistry. Partition chromatography cartoon: Gaussian bands separate as retention on the stationary phase differs. Use the controls to change the scenario; watch the visualization and any graphs or readouts to connect the model with lectures, labs, and homework.

Who it's for: Best once you already know the basic definitions and want to build intuition. Typical context: Chemistry.

How it works

Schematic partition chromatography: analytes equilibrate between mobile and stationary phases; stronger affinity for the stationary phase moves more slowly and exits later.

Key equations

Retention increases with partition coefficient K = C_s / C_m (toy model uses distinct effective band speeds).
