SepaFlash™ TLC Plate, Glass-Backing, C18
SepaFlash™ C18 TLC and HPTLC Plates with glass backing are optimized for reversed phase TLC, offering sharp separations, high reproducibility, and broad solvent compatibility. Featuring C18-modified silica, they ensure strong retention of non-polar compounds. The TLC plate uses a hybrid binder for routine separations, while the HPTLC plate has a hard organic binder and a thinner layer (150 µm) for high-resolution separations. Both include a fluorescent F254 indicator for efficient UV detection (254 nm). Ideal for pharmaceutical, bioanalytical, environmental, and forensic applications.
Key Features
- C18-Bonded Silica – Optimized for reversed phase chromatography
- Glass Backing – Rigid, solvent-resistant, and chemically stable
- Broad Solvent Compatibility – Supports aqueous-organic mobile phases
- Optimized for Precision: TLC for general-purpose reversed-phase separation & HPTLC (thinner layer 150 µm) for sharper peaks and quantitative analysis
- Versatile Binder System: TLC (Hybrid Binder - Gypsum/Organic) for routine separations, broad solvent compatibility & HPTLC (Hard Organic Binder) for high resolution, minimal background noise
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.
