HPTLC LiChrospher® plates are based on spherical-shaped silica 60 with a particle size of 7 µm, and narrow particle size distribution similar to the phases used in HPLC. LiChrospher® HPTLC plates possess a selectivity that is comparable to respective HPTLC plates, however, plate height and separation numbers are further improved resulting in shorter analysis times.

• 20% reduced running times
• Highly compact spots or zones
• Lower detection limits and better resolution

LiChrospher® HPTLC plates are especially suitable for separations of highly complex, low concentration samples, such as:
Trace analysis of pesticide mixtures
Assay of pharmaceutical compounds
