This method of separation, using two immiscible phases in contact with each other, was first undertaken at the beginning of the 20th century and is credited to botanist Michael Tswett to whom is equally attributed the invention of the terms chromatography and chromatogram. 

Chromatography began at the turn of the century when Ramsey [2] separated mixtures of gases and vapors on adsorbents like charcoal and Michael Tswett [3] separated plant pigments by liquid chromatography. Tswett is credited as being the father of chromatography principally because he... 

The search for the perfect chromatography began over a century ago with the work of the Russian botanist Michael Tswett, who used column liquid chromatography in which the stationary phase was a solid adsorbent and the mobile phase was a liquid. The major breakthrough that would eventually lead to many of the developments of modern-...

The first detailed description of chromatography is generally credited to Michael Tswett, a Russian biochemist, who separated chlorophyll from a mixture of plant pigments in 1906. Because erf the nature of the pigments in the sample, each band had a distinctive color. Thus the name of the process was coined from the Greek words for color (chromo) and to write" (graphy).
