Summary

The separation of some purines by thin-layer chromatography, utilizing precoated plates with Silicagel R as stationary phase and the following mobile phases: i-butanol: methylethylketone: ammonium hydroxide 25%: water (40∶25∶20∶15) and n-propanol: ammonium hydroxide 25%: water (80∶15∶5) is reported.

Visualisation of the spots has been achieved by spraying with aqueous 1% uranyl acetate and irradiating with UV both at 254 and 366 nm. The visual detection of a spot was 0.01 μg.
