✦ Synopsis
Plates for thin-layer chromatography on charcoal were prepared using polyethylene as binder. The problem of detection was overcome in several ways and the adsorptive powers of silica gel and charcoal layers were compared using two sets of substances: dyes and amino acids. The charcoal employed was a stronger adsorbent than silica gel. The RF data of the substances mentioned, in severalsolvents, are represented as chromatographic profiles.
