Product Description
TLC Silica Gel Plates have been specifically made to be used for thin layer chromatography technique in chemistry that is done for separation of volatile mixtures and can also be availed with coating of fluorescent indicator F254. They are highly appreciated for having ability to withstand high temperature and are chemically resistant. These plates have been made using advanced techniques so as to assure dimensional & structural precision with accurate results. They can also easily be labeled using pencil or marker before & after process. TLC Silica Gel Plates are available at highly competitive prices in bulk amounts for our trusted clients.
Customizable for Diverse ApplicationsOur TLC Silica Gel Plates are available in various sizes, thicknesses, and backing options (glass or aluminum) to suit specific analytical or preparative chromatography needs. The customizable features enable researchers and labs to select plates best fitting their protocol, sample volume, or application requirements.
Reliable Performance with Fluorescent Indicator OptionTLC plates can be supplied with or without fluorescent indicator (F254), offering versatility for either visual or UV-detected separation methods. The high purity and controlled surface uniformity guarantee consistent spot development and reproducible analytical outcomes, essential for laboratory work.
FAQs of TLC Silica Gel Plates:
Q: How should TLC Silica Gel Plates be stored to maintain optimal performance?
A: Store the plates in a cool and dry environment, ensuring that the moisture-proof aluminum sealed pouch or box remains unopened until use. Proper storage will help maintain their effectiveness and guarantee a shelf life of up to two years.
Q: What processes are TLC Silica Gel Plates used for in the laboratory?
A: These plates are primarily employed for Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC), a technique used for both analytical and preparative purposes, allowing separation, identification, and quantification of components in complex mixtures.
Q: When is it beneficial to use TLC plates with a fluorescent indicator (F254)?
A: Plates containing the F254 indicator are ideal for applications requiring ultraviolet (UV) detection, enabling easy visualization of separated compounds under UV light and improving analysis accuracy in fluorescence-based assays.
Q: Where can TLC Silica Gel Plates be sourced and what are the backing options?
A: They can be sourced from distributors, exporters, manufacturers, suppliers, or traders based in China. Plates are available in glass-backed or aluminum-backed versions, each suited for different laboratory preferences and protocol requirements.
Q: What are the advantages of using TLC Silica Gel Plates with a smooth and even surface?
A: A smooth and even surface promotes uniform sample application and consistent migration, resulting in sharp, well-defined chromatographic spots and more reproducible results.
Q: How customizable are the size and thickness of these TLC plates?
A: While the standard coating thickness is 0.25 mm, thickness and plate sizes (such as 20 x 20 cm or 10 x 20 cm) can be tailored according to user specifications to meet a wide range of laboratory needs.
