Question

Thin Layer Chromatography of Lipids is based on the partitioning of components between the stationary phase and the mobile phase.

True or False

Answer 1

option TRUE is correct

thin layer chromatchromatography( TLC) technique requires stationary phase and mobile phase.

stationary phase = it involves some sort of matrix

mobile phase = which is mixture of solvents.

extracted sample mixture( lipid extract from cells) is applied at the bottom of the plate,allowing the solving to capture the mixture.

TLC is a tried and true method for the separation of true components in a mixture based on the polarity of the individual components.
