== Real Life Examples ==

One main real-life example of chromatography is to determine what colors make up various colors of ink using paper chromatography. Also, you can use chromatography to determine what compounds make up a mixture. Many biochemists and organic chemists use chromatography for this reason. Biochemists can use chromatography to analyze proteins and substrates and organic chemists use it to determine the composition of various compounds. TLC Chromatography has also been used to analyze pesticides. TLC can also be used in immunological approaches with antibody-antigen complexes. It can be used to identify lipophilic and hydrophilic compounds in animal parasites and the hosts they infect. Determining the structure of bacterial membranes has been an important innovation with the use of TLC and column chromatography.
