Description
HPTLC plates RP-18 W/UV254 are ready-to-use high-performance thin-layer chromatography plates featuring a wettable reversed-phase RP-18 layer with UV254 indicator. The large 20 × 20 cm format provides ample separation distance for multi-track applications, method development and comparative analysis of complex mixtures. These DC/HPTLC finished plates are intended for laboratories performing reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography where aqueous-compatible wetting behaviour and clear UV detection support efficient sample evaluation. Packed as 25 plates per unit, the format suits routine analytical throughput in pharmaceutical, food, environmental and natural-product testing. The RP-18 W/UV254 chemistry combines C18 selectivity with improved wetability, facilitating work with polar mobile phases and mixed solvent systems. Produced by Macherey-Nagel, the plates form part of a proven TLC carrier portfolio used across classical TLC and HPTLC workflows. Ready-coated construction ensures consistent layer quality and reduces preparation steps before spotting and development. Pack net weight is 3,56 kg. The plates are compatible with standard 20 × 20 cm chambers, automatic applicators and UV cabinets for documentation and densitometry.
This article is part of TLC & HPTLC plates, in TLC.

Questions about HTLC plates RP-18 W/UV254, 20x20 cm
What is this article?
HTLC plates RP-18 W/UV254, 20x20 cm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Macherey-Nagel for laboratory use. It sits in TLC & HPTLC plates, inside TLC, in Chromatography equipment.
A TLC plate is a backing, glass, aluminium or plastic, coated with silica or alumina of a stated thickness. HPTLC uses a finer particle and a thinner layer. Indicator plates fluoresce so a dark spot shows under UV. Plate size and layer thickness are the specification.
Thin-layer chromatography runs a liquid up a plate coated with a sorbent. The compounds move different distances and are seen as spots. HPTLC is the same method with a finer layer. The plate, the solvent mixture and the chamber saturation decide the result. It is the quick look before, or beside, a column method. The substances are on PubChem, named by IUPAC.
