  • Method and apparatus for automatic chromatography of thin-layer plates
    Patent number: 11307180
    Abstract: A method for the automatic chromatography of thin-layer plates for thin-layer chromatography with a development chamber 1 in which a thin-layer plate D is completely enclosed, sealed-off and isolated from the external environment. In the development chamber, a front space containing an inner atmosphere is located on the front face of the separation layer of the thin-layer plate. The depth of the front space is about 2 mm and a maximum 3 mm. An inlet is provided at one end of the front space and an outlet is provided at the other end of the front space. During the chromatographic development, a stream of gas of particular composition determined by the user is created throughout the entire front space, the entire inner atmosphere being set in motion, without stagnant or stationary gas phase.
