'''Fast Protein Liquid Chromatography''', usually referred to as FPLC, is a form of [[column chromatography]] used to separate or purify proteins from complex mixtures by using [[Ion Chromatography]]. It is very commonly used in [[biochemistry]] and [[enzymology]]. Columns used with an FPLC can separate macromolecules based on size, charge distribution, hydrophobicity, or biorecognition (as with [[affinity chromatography]]).
