Abstract
A FEW years ago, Dr. A. J. P. Martin and his colleagues at the Wool Industries Research Association1 developed a technique using solvent extraction on absorbent paper for the separation and detection of mixtures of amino-acids. This process, which the discoverers termed ‘partition chromatography', has more recently been applied to other problems, for example, the separation and identification of amino-acids derived from human metabolism2, and to the analytical study of different varieties of penicillin in mixtures3.
