General Chromatography

Intro To Chromatography - This site provides a very general look at chromatography and how it is performed.  Explains the
                                          chromatogram and shows what the information obtained can be used for.  It has definitions along
                                          with uses of the main types of chromatography.

Chromatography Slide Show - Chromatograpy explained as a slide show.  Starts as a general overview of chromatography
                                               and then describes how things are separated in the column.  The slide show goes on to
                                               disucss plate and rate theory along with the qualitative and quanitative analysis of
                                               chromatography.

An Introduction To Chromatography - A general discussion of chromatography and information on how chromatography is
                                                           used in the fields of biotechnology and pharmaceuticals.  The site further contains
                                                           a discussion of the different types of liquid chromatography and includes an experiment
                                                           that can be done in the classroom to illustrate chromatography.

Triangle Chromatography Discussion Group - A discussion group that looks to further the exchange of information on all fields
                                                                      of chromatography and is open to anyone interested.  The group has an annual
                                                                      symposium and insturment exhibit.  The site contains links to other groups of its
                                                                      kind and conferences about chromatography.
