Description
Thin-layer chromatography plates (TLC) 5 x 10 cm with F254 fluorescent indicator on glass are silica gel plates for thin-layer chromatography. The stationary phase is defined by a particle size of 5–17 µm, a pore size of 60 Å, a specific pore volume of 0,75 ml/g and a specific surface area of 500 m²/g. Glass-backed plates carry a layer thickness of 0,20–0,25 mm and use polyacrylates and/or other substances as binders, giving a rigid, stable format for analytical work. This pack of 160 pieces from manufacturer Labbox suits laboratories that need a ready stock of uniform TLC media for routine separations. The F254 indicator supports visualisation of UV-active compounds under ultraviolet light. The compact 5 x 10 cm format fits smaller development chambers and is practical for screening, method checks and teaching experiments. Consistent particle, pore and layer parameters help maintain comparable chromatographic behaviour across plates in research, quality-control and educational settings where glass TLC plates are preferred.

Questions about Thin layer chrom. (TLC) plates 5x10cm, F254, Glass, 160 pcs
What is this article?
Thin layer chrom. (TLC) plates 5x10cm, F254, Glass, 160 pcs is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Labbox 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.
