What is the purpose of chamber saturation in paper chromatography?

-

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

  • Chamber saturation guides uniform solvent ascent by maintaining consistent moisture conditions around the paper surface.
  • It supports steady capillary action by preventing uneven solvent flow caused by differential evaporation.
  • It maintains equal solvent movement across the paper width by stabilizing the surrounding vapor environment.
