Abstract

A method for performing thin-layer chromatography applies a liquid sample to a separating layer. A mobile phase is subsequently applied to the separating layer and brought into contact with the liquid sample. After a developmental phase, a thin-layer chromatogram is produced. The liquid sample is taken up from a sample storage container with the aid of an autopipette using a new pipette tip for each sample application operation and applied to the separating layer. A device for performing the method includes a support plate for the accommodation of the separating layer, a first storage container for the accommodation of the sample, and a second storage container for the accommodation of the mobile phase.
