Question
Which among the following chromatographic methods can be used to separate samples from each other on the basis of size?
Explanation
Gel filtration, also called size exclusion chromatography, separates molecules based on hydrodynamic volume. Porous beads exclude large molecules which elute early through void volume, while small molecules enter pores and elute later, unlike affinity or ion exchange.
