TLC Silica Gel 60 F₂₅₄ Aluminum TLC Plate (20 × 20 cm, 25 Plates/Pack) – Merck Germany for Thin Layer Chromatography
Product Description
TLC Silica Gel 60 F₂₅₄ Aluminum TLC Plate from Merck Germany is a premium-quality chromatography plate designed for accurate and reliable Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) analysis. Manufactured to meet the highest laboratory standards, these aluminum-backed TLC plates are coated with high-purity Silica Gel 60 and contain a fluorescent indicator F₂₅₄, enabling easy visualization of UV-active compounds under a 254 nm UV lamp.
Each pack contains 25 plates measuring 20 × 20 cm, making them suitable for routine laboratory analysis, pharmaceutical quality control, chemical research, educational laboratories, food testing, forensic science, environmental analysis, and industrial research applications. The durable aluminum backing offers excellent flexibility and mechanical strength while allowing easy cutting into smaller sizes without damaging the silica layer.
Merck’s TLC plates are recognized worldwide for their consistent coating quality, excellent separation performance, and reproducible analytical results. The precisely controlled silica layer ensures uniform solvent migration, accurate spot development, and reliable chromatographic separation, making these plates an ideal choice for professional laboratories requiring dependable analytical performance.
The Silica Gel 60 F₂₅₄ coating provides excellent adsorption properties and is suitable for separating a wide range of organic compounds, pharmaceuticals, natural products, pesticides, dyes, amino acids, lipids, steroids, and other chemical substances. The integrated fluorescent indicator produces a green fluorescent background under UV light at 254 nm, allowing UV-absorbing compounds to appear as dark spots for easy detection and documentation.
These TLC plates are extensively used for qualitative analysis, reaction monitoring, purity testing, identification of unknown compounds, stability studies, and method development. Their high-quality coating ensures sharp spot formation, improved resolution, and consistent chromatographic performance across every plate.
Merck Germany manufactures these TLC plates under strict quality control standards to guarantee reproducibility between batches. Their excellent separation efficiency makes them suitable for pharmaceutical research laboratories, universities, research institutes, biotechnology companies, chemical industries, food safety laboratories, environmental testing facilities, and forensic laboratories.
