Countercurrent chromatography (CCC) is a preparative separation technique using two immiscible liquids. One carries the sample, forming the mobile phase, while the other serves as the stationary phase. The three types of CCC are droplet (DCCC), hydrostatic or centrifugal-partition chromatography (CPC), and hydrodynamic. DCCC uses gravity to draw the mobile phase with the sample through […]
