Tellurate and periodate solutions as media for paper electrophoresis of carbohydrates.
Electrophoretic separations of sugars and other polyhydroxy compounds may be performed in 0.2M telluric acid media adjusted to pH 10 with sodium hydroxide, and in 0.07M sodium metaperiodate at pH 11. Oxidation by periodate appears to be only slight under these conditions. Migration rates of 21 compounds are reported relative to the movement of d-ribose. In both electrolytes the compounds form anionic complexes.
