TLC Plates

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.

TLC plates, silica gel 60, unmodified and chemically modified layers, aluminium backed

Supplier: Merck

TLC plates, unmodified silica gel 60
This range of plates uses Merck silica gel 60 with a unique polymeric binder that results in a uniform, hard surface that will not easily crack or blister. The smooth, extremely dense plate coating ensures narrow bands and maximum separation efficiency with the lowest background noise. Layer thickness 200 μm and, particle size of 10 to 12 µm. Flexible aluminium plates that can easily be cut to match individual separation requirements. Two inorganic fluorescent indicators for UV detection of colourless substances. Samples which absorb shortwave UV at 254 nm are detected due to fluorescence quenching.

Multiformat plates, silica gel 60, unmodified layers, glass backed

Supplier: Merck

Merck Multiformat plates are pre-scored glass plates for easy breaking into various sizes. The plates use the same silica coating as the corresponding TLC or HPTLC plate delivering chromatograms that are identical to those of the non scored plates.

PLC plates, silica gel 60, unmodified and modified layers, glass backed

Supplier: Merck

PLC (Preparative Layer Chromatography) plates are based on the same proven Merck silica-binder technology as analytical TLC plates. Plates are available with layers of unmodified silica gel or RP-18 modified silica gel in several layer thicknesses, ranging from 500 to 2000 µm, with or without fluorescent indicator.

HPTLC plates with spherical particles, LiChrospher®

Supplier: Merck

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.

TLC plates, silica gel 60, unmodified layers, plastic sheets

Supplier: Merck

TLC plates, that feature a smooth and extremely dense plate coating, ensuring narrow bands and maximum separation efficiency with the lowest background noise. Flexible plastic sheets can easily be cut to match individual separation requirements.

HPTLC plates, silica gel 60, unmodified layers, aluminium sheets

Supplier: Merck

This range of plates uses an optimised Merck silica gel 60 with a particle size of only 5 to 6 µm, which results in higher packing density and a smoother surface, therefore reducing band diffusion. Less sample is required, 0,1 to 0,5 µl than classic TLC.
