A method for the complete separation and essentially quantitative isolation of individual components of phospholipid mixtures is described. The mixture is chromatographed in two dimensions on thin layers of Silica Gel G and the phospholipids are extracted from the adsorbent with a solvent mixture containing formic acid.
