SiliaPlate- Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC)

SiliCycle is the partner of choice for your purification
and chromatography needs.

  • Optimize separation conditions by using the same silica gel as in your flash columns and cartridge;
  • Made with an extra hard layer that ensures the plates won’t lose silica on robbing and heating;
  • Lot-to-lot and layer-to-layer reproducibility guaranteed by the consistent thickness of our SlicaPlate;
  • Made with a unique Gypsum binder and UV indicator for direct visualization;
  • Maximal separation performance ensured by dense coating and narrow particle size distribution;
  • Small quantity of compound required and high sample throughput capability (up to 20 samples simultaneously);
  • Wide range of sizes, backings and chemistries to suit wide range of application needs;
  • Suitable for quality testing, residue analysis, drug monitoring, reactions follow-up, in-process control, metabolism studies etc.
