Subject: What is solvent fractionation? How is it done?

solvent fractionation? antifungal activity??


We have a Science Research Subject
and my study is all about the anti-fungal activity of solvent fractionated
extracts of Indigo plant. I just want to ask you some questions that might
help fill in the knowledge gaps in my methods.

(1)Could anyone please share with me the principles and details concerning the
solvent fractionation?
because i can't seem to find a definite procedure on it.

(2)does anyone have a soft copy of an article or a protocol on solvent
fractionation?

(3) in a study such as mine, how many fractions of the extract, do you suggest,
will be taken for me to measure antifungal activity?

Thank you and more power to you!
I am hoping for your reply!
