The separation and determination of the individual polysaccharides present in a mixture is a difficult and tedious process which often can only be carried out on the macro-scale. Northcote (1954) has used electrophoresis in borate buffer in the Tiselius apparatus as a method for determining the minimum number of constituents of a mixture, but the recovery of the materials behind each boundary, which is necessary if the monosaccharide consti- tuents of each component are to be studied, is difficult. This difficulty might be overcome if the electrophoresis could be carried out on some form of strip support, and the present work describes such a technique.
