Product innovations from Whatman have made thin layer chromatography
(TLC) a practical laboratory tool for both qualitative and quantitative analysis.
Features and Benefits
• Stringent quality standards ensure a consistent level of resolution,
accuracy, and reproducibility
• Multiple samples and standards can be run simultaneously under
identical conditions
• Wide range of chemistries and sizes to suit your application needs
• Sample preparation is simplified because plates are disposable
• Mobile phase need not be compatible with detector
• Available with fluorescent indicator for easy detection of many
UV-absorbing compounds
Linear-K: Fast, Accurate Spotting
Whatman pioneered the linear preadsorbent layer for easy, rapid, and accurate
sample application. The layer actually acts as a sponge to preconcentrate
the sample before it interacts with the silica layer. In order to facilitate sample
application and the preconcentrating power of the preadsorbent layer, Whatman
made it thicker than the silica layer. This allows the analyst to apply sample in
amounts never before attainable with standard TLC plates, and to apply dilute
samples in less-volatile solvents without sacrificing resolution.
