Abstract

AN automatic scanning technique employing a Geiger–Müller tube for the location and estimation of radioactive substances separated on unidimensional paper chromatograms has been described1. The application of this technique to two-dimensional chromatograms is tedious because a large sheet of paper has first to be cut up into the equivalent number of unidimensional strips and each strip scanned separately. To obviate this difficulty, an alternative technique to the conventional form of two-dimensional paper chromatography has been successfully developed for the application of two or more solvent systems to the same labelled mixture.
