A series of solvents with an increasing degree of polarity, generally used to explain solvent strength in liquid-solid or adsorption chromatography. A nonpolar solvent such as pentane would be at one end of the scale; dichloromethane would be an intermediate solvent; a strongly polar solvent, such as water, would be at the other end of the scale. Thus, when developing a method or running a gradient, an eluotropic series is useful for selecting solvents.

The eluotropic series in chromatography refers to a list of solvents ranked based on their ability to elute (separate) components of a mixture from the stationary phase. Solvents higher in the eluotropic series are more polar and have stronger interactions with the stationary phase, thus making it easier for components to move through the column. The eluotropic series is useful in selecting appropriate solvents for different chromatographic separations.

What does chromatography mean in Greek?
The name Chromatography comes from the greek word "Chromos" meaning color and "grafein" meaning to write. So, Chromatography is "writing with colors"...
What does it mean if the spot is in the solvent front in chromatography?
it means that the solvent dissolves the solute.
Why does a v shape on a topographic map mean?
A series of V's means either a valley or a ridge depending on which way the V runs in relation to the topography lines.
What does LC-MS mean in toxicology?
LC-MS is the abbreviation for Liquid Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry. It is a method for doing analysis.
Why is chromatography used in the police?
the police use chromatography to solve crimes, for example if they wanted to solve if a drug or a substance was illegal or legal they would use paper chromatograhy which would mean they would place the substance or a drug on paper dip it in a testing liquid which could be water for example and if the paper turns purple for example that liquid may be illegal or if that dot of the certain substance rises over 5cm for example it may be illegal so chromatography comes in very handy for the police and solving there crimes !

What is mean by isothermal in gas chromatography?
It means that you keep the temperature constant during the entire run
What is the relation between mean median and mode?
In a symmetric distribution, the mean and the median are the same. Otherwise there is no relation. In symmetric distributions with only one mode, the mode will coincide with the mean and median, but otherwise there is no relation.
