| | TCAW 9/98: Creating A Central Science |
 | | As with all forms of chromatography, the choice of coating, whether inert or reactive, depends on the nature of the material to be separated and the end results desired. |
 | | Despite the relatively small number of people involved in chromatography's early days, it is difficult to name a facet of modern life to which it has not contributed, whether as an analytical science, a preparative tool, or a regulatory technique - including its role as a mainstay of the chemical industry. |
 | | Chromatography - with its fundamental quest to separate and identify every kind of atom and molecule, and with its diverse applications from agriculture to zoology, from petrochemicals to biopharmaceuticals, and from simple salts to the most complex polymers - can indeed be considered the instrumental backbone of chemistry's claim to be the central science. |
