What is Liquid Chromatography Testing?
Did you know that liquid chromatography was the first discovered in the 1800s? Used in the late 1890s, Russian botanist Tswett used liquid chromatography testing to separate and isolate various plant pigments. He used the term chromatography (color writing) because of the colored bands produced on the adsorbent bed. Chromatography was not accepted immediately since Tswett wrote his paper in Russian and other scientists failed to get the same results when they repeated his experiments. It took an additional twenty years until liquid chromatography testing had a wider appeal.
