Descending chromatography
When
the developmnet of paper is done by allowing the
solvent to travel down the paper, it is known as
descending chromatography

Types Characteristics Uses
Carboxyl papers Exchange capacity of paper is • For efficient separation of
increased by increasing carboxyl polar substances.
content by partial oxidation • Cationic separation of
potential amines and amino
acids
• The difference between the Rf values of any two components must be 0.05; the
minimum value necessary in order to separate any two components.
• The distribution ratios of the components in the solvent system should be independent
of concentration so as to get circular spots.
• The solvents should not undergo chemical reaction with any of the components of the
sample mixture.
• The solvent should not interfere with detection of spots on the developed
chromatogram.
The paper is dipped in solvent in such a manner that the spots will not
dip completely into the solvent. The solvent will rise up and it is allowed
to run 2/3 rd. of paper height for better and efficient result. Various
development techniques are;
• Ascending chromatography
• Descending chromatography
• Ascending-descending chromatography
• Radial paper chromatography
• Two dimensional chromatography
Drying of chromatogram
o After the solvent has moved a certain distance for certain
time, the chromatogram is taken out from the glass jar.

• Improper adjustment of the paper in the tank leads to this error so the paper should be
held vertically.
• Do chamber saturation
