Product Description
The Silica Gel G for Thin Layer Chromatography (60-120 mesh) | 1917 | Lancer is a premium-quality adsorbent specially formulated for preparing Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) plates in analytical, research, pharmaceutical, and educational laboratories. Manufactured with a particle size of 60–120 mesh, this silica gel contains gypsum (G) as a binder, allowing it to adhere firmly to glass, aluminum, or plastic plates while providing uniform coating and excellent separation performance.
Lancer Silica Gel G is widely used for qualitative analysis, compound identification, reaction monitoring, purity testing, and separation of organic and inorganic compounds. Its high adsorption capacity, controlled particle size distribution, and consistent quality ensure sharp spot resolution and reproducible chromatographic results. The material forms a smooth and crack-free coating, making it suitable for routine laboratory analysis as well as advanced research applications.
The 60–120 mesh particle size provides an optimal balance between adsorption efficiency and solvent flow, allowing accurate separation of complex mixtures. The incorporated calcium sulfate binder enhances mechanical strength after activation, ensuring the TLC layer remains intact during sample application and solvent development. It is compatible with a wide range of solvent systems used in pharmaceutical analysis, food testing, environmental monitoring, forensic science, and chemical research.
