Description
TLC ready-to-use foil POLYGRAM® SIL G is a precoated thin-layer chromatography sheet designed for routine analytical separations on a flexible polyester support. Each sheet measures 20 × 20 cm and carries a silica gel G layer with a nominal thickness of 0,2 mm, giving a uniform stationary phase suitable for standard TLC workflows in research and quality-control laboratories. The polyester foil base combines mechanical flexibility with good dimensional stability, allowing easy cutting, spotting and development while remaining robust enough for repeated handling. Supplied in packs of 25 pieces and weighing approximately 0,700 kg per unit, the format is convenient for multi-sample screening and method development. These POLYGRAM® SIL G foils from manufacturer MACHEREY-NAGEL integrate smoothly into existing TLC systems for the separation of a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds. They support classical ascending development, visualisation by common spray reagents or densitometry, and straightforward documentation. The ready-to-use construction eliminates plate preparation steps, helping laboratories maintain consistent layer quality from run to run and accelerate sample throughput in educational, industrial and analytical settings.

Questions about TLC-ready-to-use foil POLYGRAM® SIL G, 20x20 cm, polyester foil, 0.2 mm
What is this article?
TLC-ready-to-use foil POLYGRAM® SIL G, 20x20 cm, polyester foil, 0.2 mm 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.
