<p>An apparatus for conducting multiple thin layer chromatographic processes including an array of receptacles (3), each receivable of chromatographic fluid, a support structure (2, 5, 10) for supporting the receptacles (3), and a retaining unit (1, 6, 7, 8, 9) for retaining thin layer chromatographic plates (4) while enabling each plate (4) to be inserted into and removed from a respective receptacle (3). In use, one or more samples of interest are spotted onto multiple thin layer chromatography plates (4), the chromatography receptacles (3) are filled with a suitable amount of a chromatography solvent, the plates (4) are inserted into respective chambers (3) to begin the chromatography process and the processes are allowed to continue for a sufficient time period for sample separation to occur. Any separated samples are readily visualized and detected.</p> |
