Question: What do you think about chromatography?

Rowena Fletcher-Wood answered on 14 Mar 2014:

I find chromatography a bit dull. Compounds move up a bit of paper at different speeds … … … It’s incredibly useful for organic chemists though, but I’m too impatient to be an organic chemist, and too careless. I like the kind of chemistry that involves blasting things at high temperatures and flowing x-rays through them to identify what you’ve made. At the Univeristy, we have sample changing chromatography machines where you can put on dozens of samples and run chromatography on them whilst ypu’re away then come back for the resukts. Now ai think that is pretty cool!
