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]]). <!-- Unsourced image removed: [[Image:Pharmacia_deluxe.jpg|frame|A typical FPLC set-up made by Pharmacia.
