DIFFERENT USES OF CHROMATOGRAPHY

Uses of Chromatography are listed here, So before going into detail let us check it out  principle of chromatography. The main use of chromatography  is to separate and to identify the components present in the mixture. There are different types of chromatography such as gas chromatography, paper chromatography, liquid chromatography, gas liquid chromatography, and thin layer chromatography. There are two phases in all types of chromatography, one is stationary phase and other is mobile phase. Now chromatography works on the principle of partition, here the compounds with high affinity with mobile phase will travel further and separated first. There are many uses of chromatography in our day to day life , so let us check  it out one by one.


Some of the uses of chromatography are:-

  1. Chromatography is used in medicine.
  2. Use of the chromatography in analytical laboratory.
  3. Use of chromatography in pharmaceutical industry.
  4. Chromatography is also used in food industry.
  5. Out of many uses of chromatography it is also used in forensic science.
  6. Chromatography is also used in daily life or everyday life.
  7. Chromatography  is used in crime investigations.
  8. Alcohol level  in patient can also be detected using chromatography in hospitals.
  9. Some environmental agencies also uses chromatography in detecting pollutants.
  10. Chromatography is also used to purify water.
  11. In food industry chromatography is used to identify additives.
  12. In pharmaceutical industry at various stages drugs which are made are checked by different chromatography methods.
  13. Oils, fats, vitamins, alkaloids, steroids are identified with the help  of chromatography.
  14. Blood samples are checked with the help of chromatography.
  15. Chromatography also plays an important role in cosmetic industry.
  16. Pesticides and fungicides are also checked by chromatography.

Some of the related questions are also explained such as , What are uses of chromatography in crime investigation or forensic science , or What are Uses of Chromatography in pharmaceutical industry as well as Some of the uses of chromatography in industries, So find out other articles on this blog.

4 Different types of Dissolution Apparatus As Per USP

Let us see some of the types of dissolution apparatus as per USP. But before knowing that let us check it out what is dissolution apparatus. It is used to test dissolution profile of drugs in pharmaceutical industry, drug release profile of oral solid dosage form such as capsules, tablets etc which  is generally checked for quality control and to assess batch to batch consistency.There are four different types of dissolution apparatus as per USP which are as follows.

Four different types of dissolution apparatus as per USP are as follows:-
  1. Basket type - USP Dissolution apparatus - Type 1
  2. Paddle type - USP Dissolution apparatus - Type 2
  3. Reciprocating Cylinder - USP Dissolution apparatus - Type 3
  4. Flow Through Cell - USP Dissolution apparatus - Type 4
These are the four main types of dissolution apparatus as per USP among all type 2 is widely used. TO know other types of dissolution apparatus such as per USP, IP, BP etc please visit other articles on Dissolution apparatus.

5 different Types of Air Pollution


Let us see some of the types of air pollution. But before knowing that let us check it out definition of pollution. As we all know that pollution is as unwanted material or something which is added to the environment which causes harmful effect on human beings, animals or all living organism. There are five different types of air pollution which are classified and listed below.

Five different varieties or types of air pollution are as follows:
  1. Industrial air pollution which may arise from thermal power plants, food industry, pesticides, fertilizers and pharmaceutical industry. Due to cement, steel, paper or sugar industry. Air also pollutes due to textile related industries or due to atomic units.
  2. Transportation causes pollution in which vehicles liberates smoke and pollutes surroundings, it may due to all forms of terrestrial transport, urban transport or due to other modes of transport.
  3. Accidental air pollution which may arise due to fires in forests, by accidents of petroleum carrying vehicles or may be due to leakage or a blast in certain industries.
  4. Smog formation, pollution may arise, in which smoke from different industries released in to the environment and then mixes with the fog present in air which is known as Smog.
  5. Pollution by Green house effect in which several important gases are released and combine with air, which rises upward and combine with the atmosphere and return back to the earth and destroy crops, human lives, animals ,plants and livestock etc. 
These are some of the main types of air pollution which are well known. There are other types of pollution such as Water pollution, Soil pollution and much more. please check other articles on this blog.
