Description
Silica gel 60 N is a binder-free chromatographic silica intended for thin-layer chromatography (TLC). With CAS number 7631-86-9 and empirical formula SiO₂, it shows a molar mass of 60,09 g/mol and a density of 2,1 to 2,2 g/cm³. Because it contains no binder, the powder can be formulated with the user’s preferred binding system or applied where a pure silica matrix is required. from manufacturer Carl ROTH supports preparation of custom TLC layers for analytical separations in organic chemistry, natural-product work and laboratory teaching. The silica gel 60 pore characteristics deliver established normal-phase retention behaviour for a broad range of analytes when standard mobile phases are used. Laboratories slurry the material, coat plates to the desired thickness and dry or activate according to their protocol. Absence of gypsum or other binders offers flexibility for specialised coating recipes. The product is listed under EG nr. 231-545-4 and belongs to the Silica Gel 60 family widely applied in TLC workflows.

Questions about Silica gel 60 N, for TLC (contains no binder), 500 g, plastic
What is this article?
Silica gel 60 N, for TLC (contains no binder), 500 g, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Sorbents, silica gel & ion exchangers, inside SPE & sample preparation, in Chromatography equipment.
Loose sorbent, silica gel and ion-exchange resin are the phases bought in bulk to pack a column or to stir into a solution. Particle size and activity, or the ion-exchange capacity, are the specification. A TLC silica and a flash silica of different particle sizes are not the same separation.
Solid-phase extraction holds a compound on a sorbent while the rest of the sample is washed away, then releases it in a small volume. The sorbent, the bed mass and the solvents are the method. Silica, ion exchangers and polymer phases do different jobs. A flash column is the same idea scaled toward purification rather than trace cleanup. The molecules are on PubChem, named by IUPAC.
Which category should I open next?
The category is SPE & sample preparation. The sub-category is Sorbents, silica gel & ion exchangers. The catalogue is Chromatography equipment.
