Capillary chromatography is a specialized technique used in the separation and analysis of very small sample volumes through narrow-bore columns, often in the form of capillary tubes. This method is particularly advantageous in gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), where it provides high resolution, sensitivity, and speed. Capillary chromatography is commonly used in fields like pharmaceuticals, environmental analysis, and biochemistry, where precise separation and analysis of complex mixtures are required. Its efficiency makes it ideal for handling minute quantities of analytes.
