Whatman* Diamond Series TLC Plates

These plates exhibit gem-like qualities of hardness and reflectance. They facilitate dipping and spraying and will not crack or flake. They allow performing scanning densitometry with the lowest noise backgrounds for maximum range in detection. The smooth surface prevents ripples from interfering with scanning or development. Plates can withstand most solvent systems and developing reagents without silica falling off the plate or reacting with reagents, and can be charred to 180°C with cupric acetate/phosphoric acid reagents. All plates are silica gel with UV 254 fluorescent indicator and are available with channeling and Linear-K preadsorbent spotting area for faster, more accurate sample preparation. 60 A pore 450 m2/g surface.
