paper chromatography

(Science: technique) separation method in which filter paper is used as the support.

A type of chromatography in which the stationary phase is a sheet of special-grade filter paper. It is in all other aspects similar to thin-layer chromatography.

Not a very sensitive method, but historically important as one of the first methods available for separating natural compounds.
