Analtech reveals Green Beer is NOT Green
March 17, 2008 at 12:36 PM
NEWARK, DE - Analtech, Inc., the nation's only manufacturer of Thin Layer Chromatography products, revealed today that Green Beer isn't really green.
Thin Layer Chromatography is a technique for separating complex mixtures of chemicals or proteins into their various constituents.
In this case, a sample of green beer was separated using a UNIBOND C18 SPICE Sample Preparation Cartridge.
The initial separation showed the green dye used, but further separation showed the dye to be made up of blue and yellow components.
“It would appear the green beer consumed on Saint Patrick's Day has close ties to the University of Delaware's Gold and Blue,” said Steven C. Miles, General Manger for Analtech.
Analtech, Inc. was founded in Wilmington, DE, in 1961 and has been based in Newark since 1971.
Analtech's chromatography products are used in laboratories across the United States and in at least 40 countries on six continents for everything from pharmaceutical development to forensic investigations to food and soil testing.
Founded in 1961 by four men with backgrounds in chemistry, coatings, and finance, Analtech, Inc. manufactures hundreds of thousands of thin layer chromatography plates a year as well as hundreds of other products used in conjunction with separation sciences.
