Droplet Countercurrent Chromatography

A new form of countercurrent chromatography, named droplet counter-current chromatography, has been developed. This all-liquid separation technique is based on the partitioning of solute between a steady stream of droplets of moving phase and a column of surrounding stationary liquid phase. Milligram quantities of dinitrophenyl (DNP) amino acids were separated with an efficiency comparable to that of gas chromatography.
