Chemistry: Students understand how chromatography is used in chemical analysis, drug development, and quality control.
-
Biology and Biochemistry: Chromatography is crucial for studying biomolecules, DNA sequencing, and protein purification.
-
Pharmaceuticals: Students learn about drug formulation, impurity detection, and pharmacokinetics.
-
Environmental Science: Chromatography helps analyze pollutants, pesticides, and water quality.
-
Food Science: Understanding food additives, flavors, and contaminants relies on chromatography.
-
Practical Skills Development:
-
Instrument Operation: Students gain hands-on experience with chromatography equipment.
-
Sample Preparation: Learning to prepare samples for analysis is essential.
-
Data Interpretation: Students analyze chromatograms, identify peaks, and quantify substances.
-
Research and Innovation:
-
Exploration: Educational chromatography sparks curiosity and encourages students to explore new applications.
-
Problem-Solving: Students tackle real-world challenges using chromatographic techniques.
-
Innovation: Future scientists and researchers develop novel methods and applications.
