Chromatography in which the stationary phase is a thin layer of adsorbent gel coated on a glass or plastic plate. The sample is applied in a small spot at the base of the plate, and the plate is made to stand on edge in a solvent. As the solvent rises in the gel by capillary action, the sample components move at different rates and are separated into different spots. The plate is removed from the solvent, dried, and stained to visualize the components. 5, record 6, English, - thin%2Dlayer%20chromatography

Elle est particulièrement indiquée comme technique d’essai, ses résultats s’extrapolant immédiatement à la technique en colonne puisqu’on utilise les mêmes phases fixes et les mêmes solvants. 8, record 6, French, - chromatographie%20sur%20couche%20mince

Treatment of wrist sprains must be based on getting full use of mobility back as soon as possible ... Bandaging will help if enough support is given to the wrist without restricting circulation to the fingers. You may find the wrist strap useful if you decide to continue playing with a very mild wrist injury, and as physical (and mental) support when you start to play again after a more serious wrist sprain. Many wrist strappings now available have an absorbent outer covering so that, in position, the support also serves as a sweatband wristlet. 1, record 10, English, - wrist%20support
