Insightful methods ordinarily utilized for isolating analytes from a combination are not really specific to any particular analyte. There stays a chance of the presence of impurities or other compound substances in the sample that may interfere in the analysis. In addition, numerous applications require examination of various substance elements [1 ]. Chromatographic techniques arc invaluable tools when high precision or separation of components in a mixture is desired Utilizing chromatography, the parts of a combination are isolated (filtered) and afterward analysed. The historical backdrop of chromatography traces all the way back to the mid 1900s when Russian researcher Mikhail Tswett successfully separated a mixture of plant pigments using calcium carbonate and alumina packed in a glass column [2]. In the examination, he made a dissolvable concentrate of homogenized plant leaves and applied this extract to the calcium carbonate column. The example was permitted to go through the segment alongside the dissolvable under gravity. The parts of the plant shade blend isolated into various hued groups in the column. A long time later, two British specialists, Archer John Porter Martin and Richard Laurence Millington Synge improved upon Tswett’s procedure and developed a process called paper chromatography. They had the option to utilize this method to isolate amino acids present in a protein hydrolyzate and for their work were awarded in 1952 the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Over the last century, chromatography has managed the cost of critical commitments to the fields of molecule characterization as well as purification over the last century [3].

Quantitative chromatographic examination is important in drug industry for research and for quality control. Likewise, biotechnology industry broadly utilizes chromatographic methods and in numerous cases alternative methods are not available. For instance, chromatographic methods have been applied for isolating stereoisomers that are very similar in structure and properties. The improvement of biotherapeutics would have been inconceivable without chromatography-based purification strategies. The purposes behind notoriety of these strategies lie in their affectability, adaptability, and versatility. Also, chromatographic partitions are moderately quick and basic, and bear considerable ease of operation when compared to other instrumental techniques. Chromatographic detachment comprises of a “fixed stage” and a “portable stage”. The analytic in the mixture interacts with the stationary phase. Contingent on the various kinds of intelligent powers between parts of the combination, the stationary phase and the mobile phase, some molecules are detained in the column more than the others. The distinction in paces of relocation of the parts of the combination achieves the separation as the mobile phase moves and flows out of the system. The portable stage can be either fluid or gas. The fixed stage is normally strong, notwithstanding, there are a couple of exemptions. For instance, in counter current chromatography (CCC), both the versatile stage and the stationary phase are liquid [4].

Types of Chromatographic Techniques

Based on the state of the fixed stage, chromatographic procedures for the most part can be of two forms: (i) planar chromatography and (ii) column chromatography.

Planar chromatography : In planar chromatography, the fixed stage is upheld on a flat plate or in the fibres of a paper. The versatile stage travels through the fixed stage by fine activity or gravity. The two major types of planar chromatography in use arc: (a) paper chromatography and (b) thin layer chromatography (TLC).

(ii) Column chromatography: In portion chromatography, the decent stage is held in a limited tube through which the mobile phase is forced either by pressure or by gravity. Segment chromatography can be additionally separated based on the kinds of fixed and mobile phases, and the kinds of equilibria involved in solute transfer between the phases. There are a few classes of segment chromatography like high tension fluid chromatography (HPLC) [5].
