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.

Plate Types
SiliCycle offers different types of plates for thin layer chromatography applications: classical TLC, high performance TLC (also called HPTLC) and preparative TLC (PLC). The plate types are selected based on the type of analysis required and the available budget.
| Properties | Classical TLC | HPTLC | Preparative PLC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Application | Quick, inexpensive, flexible and portable separations | Highly sophisticated separation problems, complex samples | Purification on a TLC plate |
| Analysis | Qualitative | Qualitative & Quantitative | Quantitative |
| Detection | UV Stains |
Instrumented analysis (use of scanners for detection) | UV |
| Price | Lower prices than HPTLC | Higher prices than TLC | - |
| Distribution [Mean Particle Size] |
5 - 20 µm [10 - 12 µm] |
4 - 8 µm [5 - 6 µm] |
5 - 40 µm [25 µm] |
| Layer Thickness | 250 µm | 200 µm | 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 2 mm |
| Typical Sample Volume | 1 – 5 µL | 0.1 – 0.5 µL | 5 – 20 µL |
