Isotope effects in gas-liquid chromatography of steroids
Marvin A. Kirschner and Mortimer B. Lipsett
Endocrinology Branch, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, Maryland
When gas-liquid chromatography was performed with steroids containing H3 and C14, the H3/C14 ratio of the effluent was higher at the beginning and at the tail of the steroid peak. The H3/C14 ratio of the entire peak agreed with that determined by paper and thin-layer chromatography. Thus, gas-liquid chromatography on polar and nonpolar phases commonly used for chromatography of steroids apparently has sufficient resolving power to partially separate isotopic species whose molecular weights differ by 2% or less.
