General description

25 Aluminium sheets 20 x 20 cm
Our classical silica TLC plates are based on a combination of our proven silica gel 60 and the addition of a unique polymeric binder resulting in a very adherent and hard surface that will not crack or blister and even allow writing with a pensil on the surface without risk to damage the layer.

Application


  • Spectrofluorimetric and stability-indicating thin layer chromatographic methods for determination of cabergoline, a prolactin inhibitor in pharmaceuticals: This study developed a new approach for the simultaneous determination of cabergoline using Silica gel 60 TLC aluminum sheets, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency in pharmaceutical analysis (Rizk, Mahmoud, Azab, 2022).

  • Systemic Optimization and Validation of Normal and Reversed-Phase Eco-Friendly Chromatographic Methods for Simultaneous Determination of Paracetamol and Phenylephrine Hydrochloride: Utilized Silica gel 60 TLC aluminum sheets to establish a robust and environmentally friendly chromatographic method, contributing significantly to sustainable lab practices (Farid, Mostafa, Fayez, Essam, 2022).

  • A High Performance Thin Layer Chromatographic Method Using a Design of Experiment Approach for Estimation of Phytochemicals in Extracts of Moringa Oleifera Leaves: Demonstrated the use of Silica gel 60 TLC aluminum sheets for high-resolution phytochemical analysis, proving crucial for natural product research and quality control (Thomas, Kanakdhar, Shirsat, Deshkar, Kothapalli, 2020).

  • Concurrent production and relative quantification of vasicinone from in vivo and in vitro plant parts of Malabar nut (Adhatoda vasica Nees): This research highlights the application of Silica gel 60 TLC aluminum sheets in the quantification of plant-derived compounds, aiding in medicinal plant research (Panigrahi, Gantait, Patel, 2017).

  • Assessment of aflatoxin B1 in livestock feed and feed ingredients by high-performance thin layer chromatography: Applied Silica gel 60 TLC aluminum sheets for detecting and quantifying aflatoxin B1, ensuring safety and compliance in animal feed production (Kotinagu, Mohanamba, Kumari, 2015).
