Paper Chromatography Principle, Types, Instrumentation, Steps
The paper chromatography (PC) can be described as a kind of planar chromatography, where the chromatography processes are performed on a special paper. PC is thought to be the most simple and the most extensively employed of chromatographic techniques due to its ability for isolation, identification, and quantitative analysis for organic as well as inorganic substances. PC was first developed in 1865 by German scientists Christian Friedrich Schonbein (1865).
