Thin layer chromatography (TLC) as with al all chromatographic techniques, is based on a multistage distribution process.
This process involves: a suitable adsorbent (the stationary phase), solvents or solvent mixtures (the mobile phase), and the sample molecules. In thin layer chromatography, the adsorbent is thinly coated onto a suitable support (e.g. glass plate, polyester or aluminum sheet). On top of it, the substance mixture separates by elution with a suitable solvent.
The usual technique involves a single TLC run in a glass chamber (standard method, linear development). However, better separation results can be obtained through multiple runs with or without modifications in mobile phase.
FUNGILAB, S.A. conveniently supplies a wide range of glass tanks, plates and fixing sprays.
Technical data
NORMAPLAK Body manufactured in tempered glass, with a flat base and smooth, polished upper edges. Lid with handle, with smooth and polished base, forming a perfectly airtight closure with the body of the tank. For plates of 200 x 200 mm.
MULTIPLAK The size and lid are identical to those of the NORMAPLAK tank. Additional grooves exist on the inside, allowing to store up to 5 plates of 200 x 200 mm. The MULTIPLAK tank is used particularly for quantitative analyses, serving also to store plates in a protected environment.
MINIPLAK Body manufactured in tempered glass, with a flat base and smooth, polished upper edges. Lid with handle, with smooth and polished base, forming a perfectly airtight closure with the body of the tank. It is used for plates of 100 x 100 mm.
