Salting-Out Chromatography - A Practical Review

This review focuses on the salting-out effect and its use in chromatographic analysis, mainly thin-layer chromatography. First, a theoretical background is given, focusing on the general salting-out theory and a comparison with chaotropic salt addition, practised recently in reversed-phase chromatography. All the salting-out chromatographic applications in literature (from the 1960s to the present moment) are then reviewed.
