History of Chromatography
Abstract
ALL those interested in the history of chromatography, including the authors of the present communication, have hitherto accepted the claim that M. S. Tswett was the discoverer of this extremely fruitful method of analysis. A detailed survey of the early literature of adsorption in petroleum technology recently initiated by one of us (H. W.)1 strongly suggests that, despite the powerful influence which his experiments have undoubtedly had on later generations, Tswett has, in fact, received considerably more credit than is his due.
