Summary
A new quantitative thin-layer chromatographic method was developed for the separation and determination of cobalamin derivatives. A mixture of acetone, acetonitrile, isopropanol, diethylamine and aqueous ammonium hydroxide as the eluent and precoated Kieselgel 60 chromatoplate as the TLC plate was used. The evaluation of the separated spots was carried out by densitometry. The method can be used for the determination of cyanocobalamin in fermentatic mixture without any cleaning or concentration procedure as well as for the purity test of cyanocobalamin and hydroxocobalamin.
