Separation of Chlorophylls c(1) and c(2) from Pigment Extracts of Pavlova gyrans by Reversed-Phase High Performance
1Department of Botany, North Dakota State University, Fargo, North Dakota 58105.
Abstract:
Chlorophylls c(1) and c(2) have been separated from total pigment extracts of the alga Pavlova gyrans Butcher using a reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography system. Pigments were separated on a 5 micrometer C(18) column (25 centimeters x 4.6 millimeters) using a gradient of methanol-acetonitrile-water. Other photosynthetic pigments were also well resolved by the system used. The separation system described may replace current thin layer chromatography methods for qualitative and quantitative determination of chlorophyll c species.

Chromatography: Introduction
The phase in which the compounds linger or on which the compounds adsorb is called the stationary phase, whereas the mobile phase is the solvent that carries the solutes to be analyzed. In traditional column chromatography, the mixture flows through the stationary phase, and the compounds partition between the stationary and mobile phases...
