Analytical Chromatography

Meaning

Analytical chromatography is a highly precise laboratory technique employed to separate, identify, and accurately quantify the individual chemical components present within a complex mixture. In the clinical domain of hormonal health, this methodology is essential for the exact measurement of numerous endogenous and exogenous hormones, along with their various metabolites, in biological specimens such as serum or urine. The technique’s superior resolution and separation power ensure accurate quantification, a critical factor for establishing clinical diagnoses and monitoring the efficacy of hormone replacement therapies. It serves as a foundational quality control and research tool in the field of endocrinology.
