Hi All, Advice needed.
My head of department is introducing a new demo to us. She wants to demo column chromatography, so has any one done this in a school before and if so could you supply details. She has given me 2 weeks notice, and I will need to source a small column and then find out what will work. Need to decide what stationary phase, then what solute/sample and then what mobile phase will move the sample down the column. I have not run a column in well over a decade and then it took me a month to sort out the wright combination of solvents for the mobile phase to run on a silica column, with my sample. that was in my University lab tech days.
