TLC plates

Optimize your separation conditions by using the same Silica as in your column. To allow you to maximize your benefit using our UltraPure gel we offer a complete range of TLC plates with an extra hard layer of silica. For your convenience offer a range of sizes and a choice of backings: aluminum, plastic and glass. We also we offer Reverse Phase, Amino, Cyano and Silver Nitrate plates for both analytical and preparative work.

Glass Backed (NEW: C18, Amino, Cyano, Silvernitrate Impregnated 10%)

In addition to an extra hard layer that ensures that the plates don’t loose silica on rubbing you’ll benefit from the consistent thickness and high number of theoretical plates ensuring greater lot-to-lot reproducibility. Below shows a comparison of our TLC plates compared to those of two other well know and used TLC manufacturers.
