SepaFlash™ TLC Plate, Aluminum-Backing, C18
The SepaFlash™ C18 TLC Plate with aluminum backing is a high-performance reversed-phase TLC plate designed for precise separations of non-polar compounds. Featuring C18-bonded silica, it ensures strong retention, sharp resolution, and high reproducibility. The lightweight aluminum backing provides flexibility, durability, and resistance to breakage and solvent degradation. Equipped with a fluorescent F254 indicator for efficient UV (254 nm) detection, this compact plate is ideal for pharmaceutical, environmental, forensic, and food safety applications.
Key Features
- C18-Bonded Silica – Optimized for reversed-phase chromatography
- Flexible Aluminum Backing – Lightweight, break-resistant, and easy to cut
- Broad Solvent Compatibility – Supports aqueous-organic mobile phases
Visualization Techniques
Compatible with virtually all visualization reagents, including universal and selective staining techniques, including iodine vapor, phosphomolybdic acid (PMA), p-anisaldehyde, ninhydrin, and potassium permanganate (KMnO₄).
Acceptable Solvents
Compatible with aqueous-organic mobile phases, including water, alcohols, hydrocarbons, and buffered systems, while resisting solvent degradation. Optimized for reversed-phase chromatography, they ensure efficient separations with polar eluents, though purely non-polar solvents are not recommended.
Storage Conditions
Store in a dry place at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
