Classical Silica TLC Plates (TLC)
Silica gel is the universal adsorbent used in TLC. It allows to carry out almost every type of separation by suitable choice of the mobile phase. Merck classical silica TLC plates are based on a combination of Merck silica gel 60 and the addition of a unique polymeric binder resulting in a very adherent and hard surface that will not crack or blister and even allow writing with a pencil on the surface without risk to damage the layer. The smooth and extremely dense plate surface ensures narrow bands for maximum separation efficiency with lowest background noise e.g. when performing scanning densitometry.
