Abstract

THE development of liquid chromatographic techniques has been restricted because of the non-existence of sensitive detection systems. Apart from the tedious manual analysis of evaporation and determination by weight or titration the only available continuous method has been ultra-violet absorption. In this process, the sample, for example amino-acid, peptide or protein, is developed by an external reagent like ninhydrin to give strong absorption in the ultra-violet. This procedure is carried out at a single wave-length and is restricted to those samples with the required characteristic.
