Peter B. Schneider
Department of Biological Chemistry, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts
The phosphomolybdic blue stain for choline of Levine and Chargaff can be used for detection of small amounts of choline-containing phospholipids on thin-layer chromatograms if they are first fixed with polyvinyl propionate to permit a washing step.
Supplementary key words phospholipids choline-containing detection thin-layer chromatography phosphomolybdic blue "Neatan" fixing
