Two dimensional thin layer chromatographic separation of polar lipids and determination of phospholipids by phosphorus analysis of spots

Abstract

Abstract Separation of polar lipids by two‐dimensional thin layer chromatography providing resolution of all the lipid classes commonly encountered in animal cells and a sensitive, rapid, reproducible procedure for determination of phospholipids by phosphorus analysis of spots are described. Values obtained for brain and mitochondrial inner membrane phospholipids are presented.
