Determination of specific activity of isotopic materials by thin layer chromatography

  • Published:
Lipids

Abstract

A modified method for determination of specific activity by thin layer chromatography (TLC) is described. Based on in situ spectrodensitometry after separation by TLC, the method is rapid and requires amounts of reference material in the microgram range.
