- Highly reflective surface minimizes background noise
- Uniform particle size and distribution
- Fluorescent indicators
Diamond Series Thin Layer Chromatography plates facilitate dripping and spraying and will not crack or flake. A highly reflective surface minimizes background noise while scanning for maximum range in detection. Their organic binder prevents surface deterioration even when using the strongest reagent and uniform particle size and distribution add to efficiency by reducing band spreading. The 60 Å pore 450 m2/g surface area provides optimum characteristics for most analytical applications.
Plates will withstand most solvent systems and any applied developing reagent without silica falling off the plate or reacting with reagents. Plates can be charred to 180°C with cupric acetate/phosphoric acids reagents.
Diamond series plates are silica gel with UV-254 fluorescent indicator and available with channeling and linear pre-adsorbent spotting area for faster, more accurate sample application.
1232A30 and 1232A31 have 4 and 19 channels, respectively.
