Abstract
DURING a recent investigation of lactosuria in burns1 following cutaneous absorption of the lactose from penicillin-lactose powder, it was found that ascending chromatography of the urine yielded spots of considerably lower RF values than lactose itself. 0.02 ml. amounts of urine were applied; and the solvent consisted of n-butanol 5.7 parts, ethanol 1.57 parts, water 2.73 parts, and contained 1 per cent ammonia solution. The substance obtained from these spots, however, when isolated and identified by standard chemical procedures, proved to be lactose.
