TLC Plates
Support/Backing Advantages Disadvantages
Glass • Rigid
• Transparent
• Economical (reusable)
• High chemical resistance
• Most commonly used support
• Good heat stability for charring
• Fragile
• Cannot be easily cut into desired size
• Heavy – high transport costs
• Thick (>1.0 mm) – about 5x more shelf space than aluminum or plastic-backed plates
• Backing highly susceptible to breakage (potential safety issue)
Aluminum Foil • Easy to handle/safe – resistant to breakage
• Can be easily cut to desired dimensions with scissors
• Thin (~0.15 mm) – minimal storage space
• Lightweight – lower shipping costs
• Solvent resistance
• Strong adsorbent layer adherence – good for use with eluents containing high concentrations of water
• Good heat stability
• Can be stored in lab notebook
• Backing is not reusable
• Not as chemically resistant as glass to reagents such as mineral acids and concentrated ammonia
Plastic (Polyester – PET) • Easy to handle/safe – resistant to breakage
• Can be easily cut to desired dimensions with scissors
• Thin (~0.2 mm) – minimal storage space
• Lightweight – lower shipping costs
• Solvent resistance
• Can be stored in lab notebook
• Backing is not reusable
• Lower heat stability – charring must be done at lower temperatures than with glass
• Flexible – adsorbent layer may be more susceptible to cracking
SupportsThree different types of supports (or backings) are available to meet your individual application requirements. The key advantages and disadvantages of each support are identified in the table below:
Ensure Selection, Quality and Performance
BrandsWe offer our own high quality brand of thin layer chromatography (TLC) plates as well as brand name TLC plates from EMD Millipore and Analtech to meet our customers’ needs for brand name, quality and price.
Plate TypesWe have a range of high performance TLC (HPTLC) plates as well as an extensive offering of standard analytical and preparative TLC plates.
Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) Plates
3TLC Plate Features
Adsorbent Layers/Matrices
Our glass, aluminum foil and PET (polyester) TLC plates are available coated with a variety of matrices and are available with and without fluorescent indicator.
Available matrices include:
• Silica gel (unmodified, modified/bonded, chiral and high purity) – most common TLC sorbent. Eluents used are similar to those used for normal phase HPLC. Does not have the catalytic properties of alumina.
• Aluminum oxide – exhibits selectivity similar to, although slightly different than, silica. Second most common TLC sorbent.
• Cellulose – available as either microcrystalline or fibrous cellulose. Spots are generally more compact when separated on layers of microcrystalline cellulose than when separated on layers of fibrous cellulose.
• Polyamide – exhibits low diffusivity, allowing for tightly confined sample spots with maximum intensity. Corrosive visualization reagents are not recommended.
BindersPlates are available with polymeric (organic) and inorganic binders as well as without binders. Binders do not generally impact the adsorptive properties of the matrix, instead they impact the adherence of the adsorbent layer to the backing.
Available binders include:
• Polymeric (organic) binders – Plates with adsorbent layers containing polymeric binders are generally most rugged, making sample handling and application easier. They also permit the use of higher water content in the developing solvent. They are generally recommended for all TLC applications except for those that use charring for visualization.
• Inorganic binders – Plates with adsorbent layers containing inorganic binders are not as rugged as those with organic binders but are generally more rugged than plates without a binder or with a gypsum binder. They are the most water resistant and compatible with aqueous developing reagents. Inorganic binders are often used for preparative TLC plates because they are soft, allowing for spots containing the target molecule to be easily scraped off the support for elution and recovery. Plates with inorganic binder are recommended for applications requiring charring for visualization, or when developing or visualizing reagents interact with an organic binder.
• Gypsum or no binder – Plates with adsorbent layers that do not contain a binder or that use a gypsum binder are generally least rugged and fractured easily. They are not recommended for use with developing solvents containing more than 20% water. Like plates with inorganic layers, they allow spots containing the target molecule to be easily scraped off the support for elution and recovery and are recommended for applications requiring charring for visualization.
Plate Dimensions
Choose from a comprehensive variety of plate dimensions:
• Larger plates (such as 20 cm x 20 cm plates) are often less costly as they can be cut into smaller sizes as needed.
• Prescoring (available on some of our glass plates) makes cutting glass plates easier and safer as they can be easily snapped into smaller dimensions.
• Aluminum and plastic (PET)-backed plates are easy to cut to desired dimensions with a pair of scissors.
• Smaller, precut plates are also available and offer the advantages of convenience and ease of use that may make them the more practical choice in labs where productivity rather than per plate cost is the major driver.

Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) Plates
HPTLC PlatesAchieve Faster Separations and Increased Sensitivity HPTLC (high performance TLC) plates are characterized by smaller particles (≤10 μm), thinner layers (≤150 μm) and smaller plates (≤10 cm developing distance). In addition, the particle size distribution of the sorbent is typically narrower than for standard TLC layers. The thinner layers allow faster solvent migration. Sample volumes for HPTLC are generally less than one microliter. The smooth surface of HPTLC plates reduces noise when performing densitometric quantitation, increasing sensitivity.
HPTLC plates offer users the following advantages over conventional TLC:
• Better resolving power per unit distance
• Faster development times
• Lower sample diffusion
• Reduced solvent consumption

Standard TLC PlatesDevelop the Method and Verify Results Thin layer chromatography can be used for both qualitative and quantitative analysis. Standard analytical TLC plates typically have adsorbent layers that are nominally between 200 and 250 microns in thickness. Our standard TLC plates are available coated with a variety of matrices, with and without indicators.

Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) Plates
Preparative TLC PlatesIsolate and Recover Your CompoundPreparative TLC is used to purify and isolate a particular substance by separating it from contaminants. Preparative TLC plates have adsorbent layers that are greater than 500 microns in thickness allowing them to be used for the separation of larger quantities of material. When a binder is required, the softer inorganic binders are often used so the sample bands can be removed more easily. Our glass plates for preparative TLC are available coated with both unmodified and bonded silica matrices and are available with and without fluorescent indicator.
