CHROMATOGRAPHY PAPERS
DESCRIPTION
![]() |
Recommended for chromatographic techniques. |
- Made from pure linters with an α-cellulose content >98 %.
- High resistance and high-performance resolution.
- The fibres oriented in predominatly one direction.
- Thicker papers allow higher volumes.
- Lower capillary rises higher resolutions.

APPLICATIONS
| Recommended Grades | |
|---|---|
| ANALYTICAL WORK | |
| For most chromatographic work | FP2043 a, FP2043 b |
| For most chromatographic work with very high strength | FP3469 |
| For descending work, for long migratory distances and widely differing Rf values | FP2040 a, FP2040b |
| Evaluation by elution | FP2043 b |
| PREPARATIVE WORK | |
| Working with large amounts of substances | 2316 |
| Separation of relatively large molecules by electrophoresis | 2668 |
| Separation of very large amounts of substances | 2727 |
Notes for handling
The absorption is always slightly greater along the fibres. The work should be carried out in the direction of the fibres. This is indicated by the 470 or 600 mm long edge of the sheet.
Grades “a” and “b” differ in thickness only! The performance in resolution is the same. For two-dimensional chromatography the “b” grades are recommended.
