Abstract
REFERENCES to the separation of alkaloids on columns by partition chromatography have been made by Catch et al.1 and Partridge2. The theory and use of buffered columns have been previously described3–5. In the separation of the penicillins, buffered filter paper has been used6, and the difficulty of obtaining absolute RF values for such separations has been noted7. The water-insoluble alkaloids of ergot have been separated on unbuffered paper8.
