Description
TLC ready-to-use foil ALUGRAM® SIL G/UV254 is a pre-coated aluminium foil for thin-layer chromatography (TLC) featuring a fluorescent indicator for UV254 visualisation. Each sheet measures 4 × 8 cm with a 0,2 mm layer on aluminium foil, offering a compact format suited to small-scale separations, spotting trials, and teaching experiments. The SIL G/UV254 designation marks this ALUGRAM® ready-to-use foil as the fluorescent-indicator variant on aluminium support. These foils from manufacturer MACHEREY-NAGEL are listed among TLC plates for chromatography workflows. The aluminium backing remains flexible for cutting or fitting smaller chambers while supporting standard development and UV inspection steps. Applications include qualitative TLC, reaction follow-up, and educational demonstrations where UV254 detection is required. With 4 × 8 cm dimensions, 0,2 mm layer thickness, and built-in fluorescent indicator, the product supplies a ready aluminium-foil TLC medium in a space-saving size.
This article is part of TLC & HPTLC plates, in TLC.

Questions about TLC-re.-to-use foil ALUGRAM® SIL G/UV254, 4x8cm, alumin. foil, 0.2mm
What is this article?
TLC-re.-to-use foil ALUGRAM® SIL G/UV254, 4x8cm, alumin. foil, 0.2mm 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.
