Preferred Label : solid support;
Detailed label : solid support in column chromatography;
IUPAC definition : Normally an inert porous solid, which sorbs the liquid phase. The particle-size range
of the support affects column efficiency and the pressure differential necessary to
achieve a given flow rate. Modifications have been introduced for the achievement
of special separations, in which the solid support is not inert but is an active solid.
In capillary columns the inner wall of the column serves as the solid support and
obviates the use of additional porous solids for this purpose.;
