Chromatography is a technique for the separation of a mixture by passing it in solution or suspension through a medium in which the components move at different rates.
TLC (Thin layer Chromatography)
Paper chromatography
The principle of thin layer chromatography is based on adsorption.
The principle of paper chromatography is based on partition.
Thin layer chromatography requires more preparation time
Paper chromatography requires less preparation time.
In thin-layer chromatography, corrosive reagents can be used.
In paper chromatography, corrosive reagents can not be used, as the corrosive agents can destroy the paper.
