paper chromatography
a form of chromatography in which a sheet of blotting paper, usually filter paper, is substituted for the adsorption column.
After separation of the components as a consequence of their differential migratory velocities, they are stained to make the
chromatogram visible. In the clinical laboratory, paper chromatography is employed to detect and identify sugars and amino
acids.
