solutes, of a mixture for qualitative and quantitative analysis on the basis of the relative amounts of
each solute distributed between a moving fluid stream, called the mobile phase, and a contiguous
stationary phase. The mobile phase may be either a liquid or a gas, while the stationary phase is
either a solid or a liquid. Protein purification employs multiple chromatography techniques that
separate products according to differences of their properties such as molecular size and shape,
solubility, electric charge, binding affinity, adsorption properties and Hydrophobicity.The factors that
involve in separation process include adsorption (liquid-solid), partition (liquid-solid), and affinity and
due to this differences, some components of the mixture stay longer in the stationary phase, and they
move slowly in the chromatography system, while others pass rapidly into mobile phase, and leave
the system faster. And in the end, various chromatography methods have been developed.
