SepaFlash TLC Plate, Aluminum-Backing, C18

Product Description

The SepaFlash™ C18 TLC Plate with aluminum-backing (2.5 × 7.5 cm) is a high-performance reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography (TLC) plate, designed for precise separations of non-polar compounds. Featuring C18-bonded silica, it ensures strong retention, sharp resolution, and high reproducibility, making it ideal for pharmaceutical, environmental, forensic, and food safety applications.

The lightweight aluminum-backing provides flexibility, durability, and easy handling, while resisting breakage and solvent degradation. With a fluorescent indicator (F254), the plate allows efficient compound visualization under UV light (254 nm), ensuring fast and reliable detection.

Optimized for small-scale TLC applications, this compact plate delivers consistent, reproducible results across analytical workflows.

Key Features

• C18-Bonded Silica – Optimized for reversed-phase chromatography
• Flexible Aluminum Backing – Lightweight, break-resistant, and easy to cut
• Compact Size (2.5 × 7.5 cm) – Ideal for method development and small-scale analysis
• Broad Solvent Compatibility – Supports aqueous-organic mobile phases

Visualization Techniques

Compatible with virtually all visualization reagents, including universal and selective staining techniques, including iodine vapor, phosphomolybdic acid (PMA), p-anisaldehyde, ninhydrin, and potassium permanganate (KMnO₄).

Acceptable Solvents

Compatible with aqueous-organic mobile phases, including water, alcohols, hydrocarbons, and buffered systems, while resisting solvent degradation. Optimized for reversed-phase chromatography, they ensure efficient separations with polar eluents, though purely non-polar solvents are not recommended.
