TLC plates are crucial in analysing mixtures through compound separation to identify the quantity and purity. Product appearances or reactant disappearances are easily observed to show reaction progress. Pre-coated with a thin, uniform layer of solid absorbent, the TLC plates support accurate and reproducible conclusions. Choose from standard sized glass, metal, or plastic constructions compatible with manual or automated testing. Pore sizes may vary among models. Select styles may feature fluorescent indicator for colourless compounds.
