NICK LOCKYER: Welcome to the second section of the Separation Science unit.
During this session, we'll look at factors which effect
the efficiency of component separation
and the theories that allows us to quantify and predict
the performance of column chromatography.
We'll explore plate theory and rate theory,
in terms of the underline and physical and chemical processes,
and the implications for the practice of column chromatography.
Later in the course, you'll have the opportunity to test how
these theories impact on column performance,
through virtual experiments.
This week, we have our first tutorial.
So we look forward to interacting with you all then.
