Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (or hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography, HILIC) is a version of partition chromatography which occupies the opposite end of the partition spectrum from reversed phase liquid chromatography. Both are distinct from normal phase liquid chromatography in that water is part of the mobile phase, and thus not adsorption chromatography. The name was suggested by Dr. Andrew Alpert in his 1990 paper on the subject. He described the chromatographic mechanism for it as liquid-liquid partition chromatography where analytes elute in order of increasing polarity, a conclusion supported by a review and re-evaluation of published data.

Famous quotes containing the word interaction:
“Here is this vast, savage, howling mother of ours, Nature, lying all around, with such beauty, and such affection for her children, as the leopard; and yet we are so early weaned from her breast to society, to that culture which is exclusively an interaction of man on man,—a sort of breeding in and in, which produces at most a merely English nobility, a civilization destined to have a speedy limit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
