Flexible TLC Plates

 Flexible backed TLC plates (supplied in a single 20 x 20cm size) offer you economy and convenience. They can be cut with a scissor to match individual separation requirements, making them ideal for applications that require rapid sample isolation or elution prior to other analytical techniques (e.g., scintillation counting).

• Silica gel 60Å flexible plates exhibit similar selectivity to the glass backed K6 plates and are widely applicable for moderately to strongly polar analytes. They are available on aluminum or polyester backing material:
• Ion exchange plates (DEAE - diethylaminoethyl tertiary amine) are used for anionic species and are available on polyester backed material
• Aluminum backing is particularly useful for applications requiring charring
• Polyester backed plates can be heated up to 110°C and are compatible with mobile phases containing strong acids or bases.
