  • Ensure the system meets the throughput needs for your sample volume and frequency.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is thin layer chromatography?
Thin layer chromatography (TLC) is an analytical technique used to separate non-volatile mixtures on a thin layer of adsorbent material.
How does a thin layer chromatograph work?
A thin layer chromatograph separates compounds based on their relative affinity to the stationary and mobile phases, allowing for effective analysis of mixtures.
What industries use thin layer chromatographs?
Industries such as pharmaceuticals, forensics, and environmental monitoring widely use thin layer chromatographs for qualitative analysis.
What are the benefits of using a thin layer chromatograph?
Thin layer chromatographs offer quick results, require minimal sample preparation, and utilize low volumes of solvents, making them cost-effective.
