Some applications of chromatography are given below. So let us check it out it's applications to know more about chromatography.

Some of the Applications of Chromatography are:

1. Chromatography is used to separate, identify, and analyze the components in the mixture across pharmaceutical, forensic, food, clinical and environmental laboratories. 
2. It verifies drug purity, separates active ingredients and also identifies residual solvents. 
3. It is used to detect drugs, explosives and toxins in forensic investigation. 
4. In food industrly it helps to identify preservatives, additives and contaminants present in processed foods.
5. Pesticide levels, pollutants and well as VOCs can be measured in air, water and soil using chromatography. 
6. It also helps in analyzing blood, urine, and metabolic biomarkers for diagnosis in clinical labs.
7. In biochemistry it is generally used to isolates proteins, enzymes and the DNA fragnents for biochemical research. 
8. Chromatography ensures the consistency and safety in pharma and food products. 
9. It also analyze plant alkaloids, pigments and the essential oils in plant research.
10. During water testing chromatography detects heavy metals, ionic residues and organic toxings in water samples. 
11. While in cosmetic testing it verifies the composition of ingredients and detects banned substances in it.
