title: Thin-layer chromatography of hyaluronate oligosaccharides.
abstract: Odd- and even-numbered hyaluronate oligosaccharides with N-acetylglucosamine, glucuronic acid, or 4,5-unsaturated glucuronic acid at their nonreducing ends were separated by thin-layer chromatography, using silica gel and a solvent system of isopropanol-water (66 : 34) containing 0.05 M NaCl. In the isopropanol system, small amounts of electrolytes were necessary for the resolution of each oligosaccharide.
