About this mock
UGC-NET Forensic Science Unit II drill on chromatography and hyphenated techniques at the foundations level. Covers TLC, HPTLC, GLC, and HPLC principles (partition vs adsorption, Rf and k prime, stationary and mobile phases, detectors) together with hyphenated workflows (GC-MS, LC-MS, IR-MS, ICP-MS) and their Indian forensic applications under the NDPS Act and ASTM E1618 standards. Easy-band questions calibrated for first-pass UGC-NET preparation and quick concept refresh.
