Flash Chromatography Works Better With Silica Gel
What is Flash Chromatography? In the traditional chromatography method, the sample, which is placed on top of the vertical column, moves at a very slow rate. This results in a lot of time being consumed in separating the different components of the original mixture. As the sample's downward movements are prolonged, one will have to wait a long time before securing the final segregated components. It is to solve this problem of time consumption that flash chromatography is now being considered as an alternative. Flash chromatography is the best solution to the time consumption problem one faces while working with the traditional column chromatography method . Flash chromatography works by the means of air pressure being applied on the solvent to make it move faster through the vertical column. As the pressure is applied, the solvent speeds up its movement through the stationary phase and mobile phase. The separation of the components also, therefore, happens faster t
