The resolution of a 15-component mixture of phenylthiohydantoin (PTH) amino acids using metal ion impregnated silica gel plates is reported. The spots are located by exposing the chromatograms to an iodine chamber. The method provides a rapid, simple, and less expensive chromatographic system, provi

โฆ Synopsis
A simple and fast method for the separation of D- and L-lactic acid enantiomers by thin-layer chromatographic silica gel precoated plates impregnated with Cu(II) is proposed. The two lactic acid enantiomers, dissolved in acetone, are deposed on these plates. D- and L-lactic acids form complexes with Cu(II), with different Rf values, suitable for radiochemical measurements. The real separation was confirmed by enzymatic tests carried out on spots of D and L forms scraped from the chromatographic plates. Total radioactivity of 14C-labeled D- and L-lactic acids was recovered. A Cu/lactic acid complex is evidenced.
