Benefits of Silica Gel Chromatography

Image
Chromatography is a more popular method which is used in several laboratories and industries for separating several components of a mixture or solution. It is precisely used for separating complex components that have more or less similar chemical and physical properties. Silica gel chromatography is a process which is increasingly popular due to the benefits it gives. Silica gel is a good quality desiccant that is used extensively in chromatography for separation of chemical due to its exceptional water adsorption properties.  Even though there are many other famous desiccants such as activated alumina and molecular sieves silica gel is the usually used one because it has the high absorbing capacity. They are also very reasonable as compared to other famous desiccants. Further, its high adsorption nature and its cost silica gel are also extremely quick in its performance because as it absorbs moisture very quickly inside the packaging unit. It is unnecessary to say that sili...
