Description
Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) sheets coated with Silica Gel 60 (SiO₂·xH₂O) as the stationary phase on a flexible aluminum backing. The silica gel has a particle size of 5–40 µm and a pore diameter of approximately 60 Å (hence “Silica Gel 60”), providing an optimal balance between separation efficiency and sample capacity.
Key Features:
- Binder-free silica layer with high purity
- Mechanically stable and flexible aluminum support
- Even and homogeneous coating for reproducible separations
- Can be cut to desired dimensions for customized analysis
Applications
Used in qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis of complex mixtures in the following fields:
1. Analytical Chemistry
- Identification and comparison of compound Rf values
- Separation of polar and non-polar organic compounds
- Sample screening in pharmaceutical and chemical research
2. Natural Products and Botanicals
- Separation of plant extracts, essential oils, and polyphenols
- Monitoring phytochemical profiles
3. Environmental Chemistry
- Detection of pesticides, PAHs, and other organic pollutants
- Rapid screening of contaminants in soil and water extracts
4. Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Analysis
- Purity checks and component identification in formulations
- Quality control of active ingredients and excipients
