Significance of Chamber Saturation in Paper Chromatogrpahy

Some points on significance of chamber saturation in paper chromatography are:

  • Chamber saturation minimizes concentration gradients of solvent vapor by enclosing the paper in a uniformly saturated atmosphere.
  • It prevents localized drying zones on the paper surface that can form when solvent vapor is unevenly distributed.
  • It maintains consistent vapor exposure along the entire length of the paper during solvent migration.
