Summary

A simple home-made sandwich tank of Brenner-Niederwieser type is described in which the solvent is delivered to the thin-layer from a small container by a capillary siphon using a device which distributes the solvent at right angles to the direction of development. The samples can be spotted behind the line of solvent demixing which in some cases greatly improves the quality of chromatograms (reduced tailing). The development requires only 10% of the amount of solvent normally used in saturated tanks.
