title: Chromatography beyond analytical chemistry.
abstract: Although chromatography is one of the most important branches of analytical chemistry, it also serves purposes that cannot strictly be considered as part of analytical chemistry: it may be a model of natural processes, a method for the study of surface properties of molecules, for the collection of data in quantitative structure-activity relationship studies and for preparative separations, a teaching aid and sometimes even a kind of visual art. Some speculations and proposals are summarized.
