Laboratory Handbook for the Fractionation of Natural Extracts

This laboratory manual will be welcomed by all research scientists involved in the extraction, fractionation and isolation of compounds from natural materials, especially those working with plants. The book is clear and concise, and features practical exercises to illustrate the techniques described in every chapter. It will provide an invaluable research reference tool for those scientists investigating the potential benefits of ethnomedicine and the properties of chemicals isolated from natural flora. procedures using columns, pipette off the supernatant, vacuum liquid chromatography, lead subacetate, chemical screening, aqueous iron, mobile phase, spray reagents, separating funnel, fixed oils, total extract, required molecules, isolated compounds, developing solvent, fractionation procedures, evaporating dish, stationary phase, tropane alkaloids, light petroleum, original extract
