TLC vs. HPTLC: Understanding the Key Differences
Unveiling the Distinctions between Thin Layer Chromatography and High-Performance Thin Layer Chromatography Thin layer chromatography (TLC) and high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) are analytical techniques used to separate and identify components of a mixture. Both methods utilize a stationary phase, typically a thin layer of adsorbent material coated on a plate, and a mobile phase, a solvent or solvent system, to achieve separation. However, HPTLC is an advanced form of TLC that offers enhanced separation efficiency, resolution, and sensitivity....
