column chromatography short-column chromatography https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5985-7429 short column chromatography A chromatography method where the stationary bed is within a tube (of less than the standard length of 25 cm). The particles of the solid stationary phase or support coated with a liquid stationary phase may fill the whole inside volume of the tube (packed column) or be concentrated on or along the inside tube wall leaving an open, unrestricted path for the mobile phase in the middle part of the tube (open-tubular column). 2009-04-20T03:57:43Z CHMO:0001269
