TLC Glass Plates, Silica Gel Layer, SIL G UV254
Overview
Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) plates featuring a silica gel adsorption layer on a glass backing and incorporating a UV254 indicator. These plates provide a stable and uniform chromatographic surface suitable for analytical separation of compounds. The glass support offers rigidity for reliable handling during development and visualisation.
Highlights
- Silica gel stationary phase for versatile chromatographic separations
- UV254 indicator for visualisation under short-wave UV light
- Glass-backed plates for mechanical stability
- Suitable for routine qualitative and semi-quantitative TLC workflows
At-a-glance
- Form
- Silica gel TLC plates with UV254 indicator
- Condition
