Chromatography: It is a method for separating and analyzing mixtures of molecules. It comes from the words color and I write, it is essentially writing from color. In chromatography a mixture of molecules, depending on the analyte, is placed on a solid base and transferred therefrom with a gas or liquid solvent. As the mixture moves along the base, the molecules in the mixture travel at different speeds and their separation can be due to many factors such as size, structure and affinity with the solvent.
