In Thin Layer Chromatography, Silica gel plays an important and crucial role for separating and examining mixtures. It's usually placed on a glass, aluminum, or plastic plate and helps separate different parts of a mixture depending on how they interact with the stationary phase and are adsorbed by the medium.
Silica gel used in TLC is available in various grades. It can be prepared with or without a binder. Silica Gel G contains gypsum as a binder, allowing it to adhere firmly to the plate, while Silica Gel H is a binder-free option. For enhanced visibility, fluorescent indicators are added, different grades like Silica Gel GF254 and HF254.
Sorbchem India’s silica gel is a high purity adsorbent with small particles and good at absorbing moisture. Its flexibility makes it perfect for separating and examining complicated mixtures in many uses.
It is widely used in various industrial applications, including pharmaceuticals, food, chemical, and research. It helps separate and identify substances, identify additives, and separate complex mixtures.
