  • Classic Preparative TLC Plates. Silica Gel 60 F254 type. 20x20cm plate size, 2mm (2000μm) silica layer thickness. pH 6.2-6.8, particle size 10-40 μm, pore size 60 Å. 6 plates per box. Glass backed.
  • A test run separating dimethyl maleate and dimethyl fumerate has been performed and shown in photos.
  • 50mg of each compound (total 100mg), dissolved in a small amount of hexane, acetone and DCM was spotted onto plate. The plate was eluted twice with hexane:acetone=15:1, giving a very good separation. While this is expected, this also indicated that depending on how far away each component band is on TLC, one can load material amounts of 200mg (for the 2 mm) and more onto the 2mm plate since in the 1mm example the plates have not quite reached full capacity. (demo used 1mm plate of same specs.)
  • The preparative TLC method is an alternative to preparative HPLC. HPLC methods can be more expensive and when handled improperly, contamination can occur. Prep TLC is especially suitable for applications when there is relatively a small amount of sample, and purity requirements are high, and when at the same time the researcher is looking for a quick, convenient and economic way of purification.

The product ordered arrived in a timely manner; well packaged and as described. My highest praise, however, goes directly to the customer service I received when trying to resolve an issue resulting from an error I had made. I spoke with James on the phone and he was polite and patient. He figured out how to resolve my issue with the best of outcomes and I am very grateful for his time and help. I recommend AAdvanced Instruments without reservation and will certainly order from them again if the need arises.

I bought these Prep TLC plates to separate 3 similar compounds. The compounds, in many solvent mixtures, were nearly impossible to separate. However, one solvent mixture managed to separate them sufficiently using an analytical TLC plate from Sigma Aldrich. The Prep TLC plates from AAdvanced Instruments provided comparable resolution when compared to the plates from Sigma and allowed for the isolation of the desired compound. I am impressed by the Prep Plates and will likely make a future purchase. My only complaint is that some of the plates were chipped along the edges and contained some imperfections in the silica layer. They did not effect my purposes, though. Overall, I am very pleased.
