High-Voltage Paper Electrophoresis of Aliphatic Amines and Related Compounds

Abstract

SUCCESSFUL separations of amines by paper electrophoresis were first described by R. Weber1 who applied a potential gradient of 10 V./cm. at pH 3.8. Several authors2 have since reported on the usefulness of the technique for resolving mixtures of simple, biogenic and poly-amines. All, except J. Gayer3, have used low to moderate potential gradients and varying electrolyte solutions.
