Rapid Column Chromatography of Purine and Pyrimidine Bases on ‘Ectaola’ Cellulose at Room Temperature and Elevated Pressure

Abstract

A NUMBER of methods have been published for the column chromatographic separation of the purine and pyrimidine bases1. The shortcomings of these are their slow rates of flow and the fact that the separations require up to three days. In view of the biochemical importance of these heterocyclic components, faster techniques for their quantitative estimations are needed.
