TLC plates, Silica gel 60 F₂₅₄

25 Glass plates 5 x 20 cm

Our classical silica TLC plates are based on a combination of our proven silica gel 60 and the addition of a unique polymeric binder resulting in a very adherent and hard surface that will not crack or blister and even allow writing with a pensil on the surface without risk to damage the layer.

Glass TLC plate, silica gel coated with flourescent indicator F254. The silica gel TLC plates come in a quantity of 25 size 5x20 cm for thin layer chromatography applications.
