1) Crystallization
Handles
large quantities (0.005 - 50g)
The
principal component must be quite pure
2) Column
chromatography
Handles
large quantities (0.5 - 5g)
Low
resolution (separation) of components
3) Preparative
Thin Layer Chromatography
Handles
small quantities (0.005 - 0.05g)
High
resolution of components
