Thin-layer chromatography for binding media analysis

the long version

This volume, the first in the Getty Conservation Institute's Scientific Tools for Conservation series, consists of a handbook, protocols, and a guide to reference materials. The handbook serves as a primer for the basic application of thin-layer chromatography to the analysis of coating, binders, and adhesives found on cultural objects; the protocols provide step-by-step instructions for procedures involved in typical analyses; and the guide aids in the understanding of the types of materials and documentation needed.
