  • Patent number: 6599752
    Abstract: This-layer chromatography is used to separate, identify and quantity hydrophobic protein, hydrophobic protein fragment, hydrophobic modified protein and hydrophobic peptide. A method is thus provided for determination of proteins and peptides which, due to their low solubility in an aqueous solvent system, cannot be determined by conventional methods, such as ELISA, which are based on aqueous solvent systems.
