Application: To separate and identify- 1) pigments from plants2) dyes from ink (forensic science)3)amino acidsobtained from amino acids for analysis

Chromatography has many applications in biology. It is used to separate and identify amino acids, carbohydrates, fatty acids, and other natural substances. Environmental testing laboratories use chromatography to identify trace quantities of contaminants such as PCBs in waste oil and pesticides such as DDT in groundwater. It is also used to test drinking water and test air quality. Pharmaceutical companies use chromatography to prepare quantities of extremely pure materials. The food industry uses chromatography to detect contaminants such as aflatoxin.
