I want to isolate plant constituents using paper chromatography. Is i need to use different types of paper for different constituents. kindly suggest me the type of commercial whatman papers available for paper chromatography with use?
Dear Vinesh,
Your question is ambiguous. I couldn't understand whether you are willing to purify the compound or just want qualitative analysis of certain classes of compounds in your plant extract.
.
Thin layer chromatography for analysis is much advantageous than the paper chromatography. Prepared activated TLC cards are available
Yes I know that TLC has some advantages, but want to know about the various papers used for paper chromatography.
Dear vinesh
As i know mainly two type of papers available, which are used for isolation of natural products like oligosaccharide etc. they are coded as 1chr and 3 chr , differ in thickness and dimensions.
Dear vines,
There are two types: Whatman No. 1 for identification (not for isolation) and Whatman No. 3 for preparative and isolation.
