Abstract
GEL-FILTRATION on ‘Sephadex’ as a means of purifying natural products has been widely used since its first introduction by Porath and Flodin1. One of its many applications has been to the purification of natural oxytocin2. Experiments conducted during the past 2 years have shown that the purification of oxytocin can be conveniently and effectively accomplished by means of partition chromatography on ‘Sephadex’, and a brief description of the method elaborated and its application to synthetic oxytocin are recorded here.
