✦ Synopsis

Simple equipment and techniques were used for quantitative thin-layer chromatography and for recovery of sugars by elution. Although sugar recovery was not complete and varied quantitatively with the type of silica, it was consistent with a single silica and could be measured with good precision. The mean recovery of I)glucose was c~s.zO/~ with a relative standard deviation of 0.0074. The extent of losses of many sugars was quite similar. The losses occurred rapidly in conjunction with the drying of sugars on silica gel. _ --l Malntaincd at Madison, WISC., in coopcratlon with the 1Jnlverslty of Wlsconsln.
