title: The use of a new silica gel separation system in thin-layer chromatography.
abstract: A new method for the chromatography of amino acids is described in which D- or L-amino acids are separated on ICT-Empore thin-layers. The compounds are developed ascending by means of normally used solvent systems. An overloading of the plates is nearly impossible. On the other hand, hydrophilic amino acids are well separated. A second front, moving with these amino acids and emerging with ninhydrin stain, was not detectable.
