Question
what type of information can scientists get by using chromatography?

Answer
Hi Justyn

There are many types of chromatography. The first step in chromatography is separating out different chemicals in a mixture. Once that is done, many things can be determined, based on the type of chromatography - - the concentration of a substance, what a substance is, purifying substances, and much more.
