What to do if compounds stay too close to the baseline or solvent front?

> back to TLC FAQ

Possible Solutions:

  • Too close to the baseline: your eluent is not polar enough; increase the proportion of polar solvent in the same solvent system or chose a more polar solvent.
  • Too close to the solvent front: inversely, your eluent is too polar; decrease the proportion of polar solvent in the same solvent system or chose a less polar solvent.
