    Market Definition

    Membrane chromatography is a separation technique used in separation and purification processes. It involves the use of membranes as the stationary phase for chromatographic separations. Membrane chromatography utilizes chromatographic principles to separate molecules based on their interactions with a stationary phase immobilized on the membrane surface. This stationary phase can be based on various mechanisms such as ion exchange, affinity interactions, or hydrophobic interactions. Molecules that interact strongly with the stationary phase are retained longer on the membrane, while others pass through more quickly.
