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 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 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.

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.

TLC plates, aluminium oxide 60
Supplier: Merck
Merck TLC aluminium oxide plates use neutral or basic aluminium oxide of 60 or 150 Å pore size with or without fluorescent indicator to suit different application needs. Under aqueous conditions, basic compounds can be best separated on basic aluminium oxide plates, while neutral compounds are best separated on neutral plates.

TLC plates, kieselguhr and mixed layers
Supplier: Merck
Kieselguhr is a natural diatomaceous earth that can be used for the separation of polar or moderately polar compounds. For the mixed layer plates a combination of classical silica gel 60 and kieselguhr is used, providing favorable properties for certain applications such as separations of inorganic ions, herbicides or steroids.

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.

TLC and GLP plates, silica gel 60, unmodified layers, glass backed
Supplier: Merck
TLC plates, unmodified silica gel 60
Merck silica gel 60 has a unique polymeric binder that results in a uniform, hard surface that will not easily crack or blister. This smooth, extremely dense plate coating ensures narrow bands and maximum separation efficiency with the lowest background noise. Layer thickness 250 μm and particle size of 10 to 12 µm. Two inorganic fluorescent indicators for UV detection of colourless substances.
