Product Overview
Silica Gel H for TLC is a premium chromatographic adsorbent specifically engineered for high-performance separation in Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC). This meticulously processed, fine-grade powder ensures an exceptionally uniform particle size distribution, which is absolutely crucial for achieving consistent and reliable results on TLC plates. Its ultra-high purity and precisely controlled surface area provide optimal adsorptive properties, making it an indispensable component for both analytical and preparative separations across diverse laboratory settings. The inherent chemical inertness of Silica Gel H guarantees minimal unwanted interactions with your target analytes, thereby allowing for exceptionally accurate and clear band separation, which is vital for precise identification and quantification.
Designed to meet the stringent demands of modern laboratory practices, our Silica Gel H offers superior adhesion to glass plates, forming a robust and stable stationary phase that effectively resists cracking and flaking during critical steps like sample application and solvent elution. This unparalleled layer stability significantly contributes to the excellent reproducibility of chromatographic separations, an essential factor in quality control, environmental analysis, and advanced research environments. It is remarkably versatile, making it suitable for separating a wide range of organic compounds, including pharmaceuticals, natural products, pigments, dyes, and other complex mixtures. By consistently providing an optimal stationary phase, this Silica Gel H empowers scientists and researchers to achieve precise, accurate, and confidently reproducible analytical outcomes for all their purification and identification needs.
