What are the Components of a Liquid Chromatograph?
A liquid chromatograph typically consists of the following components:
Solvent Reservoir: Contains the mobile phase or solvent. Pump: Moves the solvent through the system at a controlled flow rate. Injector: Introduces the sample mixture into the mobile phase stream. Column: Packed with the stationary phase, where the separation of components occurs. Detector: Identifies and quantifies the separated components as they elute from the column. Data System: Records and analyzes the detector signal, providing a chromatogram for interpretation.
