Description
Summary:THE application of gas-liquid partition chromatography to the microanalytical separation of steroids has been recognized for some time as an attainable goal. The chief barrier to practical advances in the problem arises from the nature of the thermostable liquid phases that are now known and the properties of steroids, ‘Apiezon’ greases, thermostable silicones and polybutenes may be used at relatively high temperatures; but the distribution coefficients for many steroids are much in favour of these phases even at elevated temperatures 1 .
