Another approach to study particle deposition is to investigate their transport in a chromatographic column.

The resolution of a chromatographic column, R is related to the selectivity factor by:

These can be used as a material for chromatographic columns, unidirectional conductors, Microchannel plate and nonlinear optical devices.

With this technique the crude feedstock can be treated directly in the chromatographic column, avoiding the traditional clarification and pre-treatment steps.

The MCSGP process consists of several chromatographic columns which are switched in position opposite to the flow direction.

Hemoglobin A1c was first separated from other forms of hemoglobin by Huisman and Meyering in 1958 using a chromatographic column.

The process consists of two to six chromatographic columns which are connected to one another in such a way that as the mixture moves through the columns the compound is purified into several fractions.

However, it is also possible to concentrate material from a dilute stream at the head of a chromatographic column and then switch conditions to elute the adsorbed material in conventional isocratic or gradient modes.

The van Deemter equation relates the resolving power (HETP, height equivalent to a theoretical plate) of a chromatographic column to the various flow and kinetic parameters which cause peak broadening, as follows:

The percentage of biliary cholesterol carried by the vesicular and non-vesicular fractions was calculated by measuring the area under their respective peaks, as a proportion of the total area under the cholesterol radioactivity curve eluted from the chromatographic column.
