Paper chromatography. A laboratory manual

Article number 10125304

The object of this monograph is to provide a readily accessible source for some of the many uses and adaptations of paper chromatography that have appeared since the publication by Consden, Gordon, and Martin less than 10 years ago. No attempt has been made to list all the references in which paper chromatography has been used but rather an effort has been made to write a practical manual in which tried and proven procedures, employing relatively simple equipment and available reagents, are summarized. It is hoped that sufficient detailed information is provided, in the majority of instances, so that the reader will be able to apply the technique of paper chromatography to his particular problem without recourse to an extensive search of the literature. The authors hope that this manual may be of value in the average chemical laboratory. They will appreciate the correction of any erroneous statements and calculations and hope that readers will be so kind as to call to their attention important papers on this subject that have been omitted. With but few exceptions, the literature beyond January 1, 1952 has not been included. RICHARD J. BLOCK RAYMOND LESTRANGE GUNTER ZWEIG April, 1952
