Analtech offers improved saturation pads made from a textured paper. This provides greater surface to assist in rapid vapor saturation of a TLC chamber air space. The majority of TLC separations are performed under saturated conditions in large chambers to insure even solvent migration. Also, the strategic placement of pads saturated with solvent in the developing chamber helps assure rapid and uniform saturation of the entire atmosphere with solvent vapor, thereby reducing edge effects.
Saturation Pad Benefits
- Insure uniform chamber saturation by solvent vapor
- Improve Rf reproducibility
- Reduce "edge affect" on separations
