For 10 points, name this simple type of chromatography.
In a common biological protocol, lipids are subjected to the high-performance version of this technique and are subsequently transferred onto a PVDF membrane; that is the Far-Eastern blot. In the reversed phase version of this technique, one of its phases can be modified by the addition of octadecyldimethyl groups. Virtually all amines and carbamates can be detected by the use of ninhydrin in this technique. Iodine and UV light are commonly used for imaging the results of this technique. Dividing the solute propagation by the solvent front propagation gives the retardation factor in this analytical method. Like a similar technique with paper, the stationary phase in this technique is generally silica on a glass or plastic plate. For 10 points, name this simple type of chromatography.
