What is the use of chamber saturation in paper chromatography?

-

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

  • Chamber saturation keeps solvent migration synchronized by maintaining equal vapor exposure along the paper length.
  • It prevents premature slowing of solvent movement by reducing evaporation-driven flow interruptions.
  • It maintains consistent solvent penetration into paper fibers by stabilizing moisture conditions during development.
