When selecting the most suitable GC column it is necessary to consider the polarity of the stationary phase and the analytes. You can see that different columns have different polarities suitable for a wide range of volatile sample mixtures.

Reversed phase is the most popular and versatile mode in LC. For hydrophobic compounds, this mode is preferable.

If you have a racemic mixture of enantiomers, chiral chromatography is the process of separating enantiomers from each other.

If you have compounds that are weakly retained by RP phases, HILIC could be a useful alternative.

Size exclusion chromatography separates analytes based on their molecular weight and shape.
