Chromatography

Chromatography is made up of two words chroma which means color and graphein which means to write. Let's explore this wonderful concept used widely to separate different components in a mixture.

What is chromatography?
Chromatography is a process which helps to separate the components of a homogeneous mixture. The process thus helps in the quantification and analysis of the mixture and its components.

Scientists use this method to find out the different components that make up the mixture. This is a physical method which consists of the components distributed in two phases: mobile phase and the stationary phase.

The stationary phase is the mixture which is to be separated into its components and the mobile phase is the liquid which can be a solvent. The components in the mixture separate on the basis of the solubility and their differential affinity to the mobile and the stationary phase.

On the basis of the type of the stationary phase, the mobile phase and the separation mechanism, chromatography can be classified into different types.

Classification of chromatography
  1. On the basis of the stationary phase
  • Planar chromatography: the stationary phase is on a plane support.
  • Column chromatography: the stationary phase is in the form of a column.
2. On the basis of the mobile phase
  • Gas chromatography: when the mobile phase used is the gas.
  • Liquid chromatography: when the mobile phase used is a liquid.
3. On the basis of the separation mechanism

Classification on the basis of the separation mechanism depends on how the components are separated.
Ion exchange chromatography, affinity chromatography, partition chromatography, exclusion chromatography and adsorption chromatography are some types of chromatography based on the separation mechanism.

What are the uses of chromatography technique?
It is used widely in the researches carried out in the field of biotechnology, pharmaceutical industry and manufacturing plants. The environmentalists use it to find out the level of pollutants in the water samples.

The forensic labs use it to detect, quantify, separate and identify the samples which they obtain at the site of crime. The technique is used in the manufacturing plants to purify the samples and the products.

What are the benefits of chromatography technique?
The primary benefit is that the complex mixtures can be separated into their components. Very small amount is required for this purpose. The other benefit is its simplicity. The method is simple and takes less time. The method does not require costly setups and no major expertise is needed to perform the task. It can separate in fact any substance soluble or volatile in nature if the right mix of solvent, absorbent material, fluid carrying the components and operating conditions are used.

192.168.0.1- its Functions and Uses

This is the default IP address which is used by business and home networks. This address establishes a default gateway for the home networks. The IP address came into existence in 1970. The Internet protocol address are non routable. 192.168.0.1
Address is considered as a private address and is used as a default for the routers which are sold under the name of D-link and Netgear. The address is set as default and once you purchase the D-link or Netgear router you can change the address by accessing the network admin console. Other private IP addresses are 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 and 192.168.0.0 top 192.168.255.255.

There are two Internet protocol address standards; one is IP version 4 and the other is IP version 6. The IP version 4 is the common one which has four bytes. Each byte (also called as octets) takes the value between zero and 255.

The technology came into existence in 1970. Everything from net browsing to e-mailing depends on the internet protocol address. To make the internet protocol addresses more user friendly and readable they are expressed as dotted decimals.
Each byte in an IP address is called as an octet. Each byte in address is made up of eight bits. Thus each octet in the address range from zero to 255 thus making the full range of IP address from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255.

How 192.168.0.1 function?
The routers are the devices that transmit the data between the computers in a network. The data is transmitted in the form of packets by the routers. The routers use network address translation to detect the packets in the network and transfer them to the destination computer.

To manage your network and make adjustments you can log on from http//:192.168.0.1 and make the adjustments. Through this you can adjust the firewall, ports, passwords and alter the IP address and chage your user name.

How to use the IP address?
If you are using the D-link or Netgear then refer your user manual. Read the manual and follow the instructions to use your IP address.

To correct the trouble that you have with your router first verify the address on your computer. You can find the address in the properties option of the My Network on your computer. Right click the icon to find the address.

Next go to the LAN connections in the properties option enter the correct address in the internet option. Enter 192.168.0.1 in the default gateway and 255.255.255.255 in the subnet.

If your IP address router is altered then you first look at the address in the default gateway. Then click the start icon and in the 'run' enter the ipconfig and press enter. Then in the factory setting click and hold the button for few minutes, switch off the power and release the button only when the light start blinking in the router.

LCD or Plasma TV's-which one is better

Both the technologies give you the crystal clear colorful pictures. Both of them stand at par when it comes to sound and picture quality. They are similar with flat panel and slim designs.

You can hang them on wall of your living room just like you hang a large framed painting. Everything seems similar between the two. There is some difference though. Both have their pros and cons. So, let's discuss and find out which one is better.

Let's discuss this in the light of picture quality, viewing angle and the functional features that we consider in general and in particular.

Picture quality
This is governed by contrast, uniformity of the picture and blackness level. Compare the two on the basis of contrast and you will find that both deliver high quality crystal clear colorful pictures. But under controlled light conditions, such as for the home theater room plasma TV is a better option. But if your room is bright enough with all sorts of light then for you LCD TV is a better option.

This reason for this lies in the technology. The plasma screens are constructed such that the light finds no route to escape. The cells are tightly packed which prevent the leakage. Thus the black part of the picture which the plasma TV displays is much deeper than that of the LCD TV.

In terms of color accuracy plasma TV scores above LCD TV. The images displayed on plasma TV are richer in color when compared to those displayed on the LCD screen. but the latest LCD TV use LED light and color field sequential technology which help LCD TV to overcome this shortcoming and reach at par to the plasma TV.

In terms of contrast ratio the LCD panels score low. The difference is obvious when the light comes from all the directions. This ratio falls in off axis viewing.

Picture uniformity
The uniformity in brightness through out the screen and the smoothness of picture delivered decides the picture uniformity. More smooth the image and more the uniformity in brightness higher is the picture uniformity. The plasma TV here scores above the LCD televisions.

Viewing angle
You judge the viewing angle of a TV by sitting on either side at a certain distance and view the images on the screen. The television which delivers high quality picture without any deterioration in contrast, color etc from either side is said to have a better viewing angle.
