✦ Synopsis


A study of the errors involved in measuring small volumes of solution to form the initial spots of a chromatogram has been made. Radioactive solutes were used so that quantities could be measured conveniently and rapidly as radioactivities. Errors of up to 20 o/o were found even with experienced workers using conventional syringes or pipettes. Investigation of this surprisingly large source of error showed it was mainly due to "creep back" up the outside of the needle during repetitive delivery and "capillation" from within the needle when touching the surface of the adsorbent. A machine has been devised to overcome these defects; using it the errors of replicate delivery of small volumes have been reduced to about & 4 %.
