TLC plates are crucial in analyzing mixtures through compound separation to identify the quantity and purity. Product appearances or reactant disappearances are easily observed to show reaction progress. Pre-coated with a thin, uniform layer of solid absorbent, the TLC plates support accurate and reproducible conclusions. Choose from standard sized glass, metal, or plastic constructions compatible with manual or automated testing. Pore sizes may vary among models. Select styles may feature fluorescent indicator for colorless compounds.

HPTLC and TLC plates, silica gel 60, MS-grade
Supplier: Merck
Coupling TLC plates to mass spectrometry is a new field of high interest, which will contribute strongly to the progress of planar chromatography. The MS-grade plates are much cleaner than standard TLC/HPTLC plates providing higher sensitivity and reduced background signals. This allows trace analysis with mass spectrometry detection in lower nanogram range.
