Summary
The formation of double and triple β-alanine-C14 spots is seen during chromatography in butanol-acetic mixture; a relationship between this phenomenon and the pH of the β-alanine solution applied on the paper is also apparent. The author discusses the importance of this phenomenon for evaluation of the results of qualitative and quantitative investigations of the composition of complex biological mixtures.
