In this network, known as the stationary phase, molecules are no longer free to slide past each other, or to move apart.
There is also no sample loss because solutes do not interact with the stationary phase.
This layer of adsorbent is known as the stationary phase.
The stationary phase is usually a piece of high quality filter paper.
These conditions allow roughly 5 x 10 7cells/ml at stationary phase.
This is not possible with all binary systems, due to excessive loss of stationary phase.
When the stationary phase is solid, the analyte may form a complex with it.
Many stationary phases are porous to provide greater surface area.
A stationary phase of silicon with carbon chains is commonly used.
The result is a "smooth," horizontal linear part of the curve during the stationary phase.
