TLC Plates, ALUGRAM RP-18W/UV254, 5x20cm

RP-18 W/UV254 octadecyl-modiied HPTLC silica layers

Technical characteristics

  • Nano silica 60, mean pore size 60Å, specific surface (BET) ~ 500 m2/g, specific pore volume 0.75 mL/g, particle size 2–10μm, for preparative plates (1mm thickness of layer) standard silica 60, pH stability 2–10, particle size 5–17μm
  • Indicator: acid-resistant product with a pale blue fluorescence for short-wave UV (254 nm), UV-absorbing substances appear as dark-blue to black spots on a light-blue background

    Modiication

  • Partial octadecyl (C18) modification, wettable with water, carbon content 14%
  • Order of polarity: silica > DIOL > NH2 > CN > RP-2 > C18-50 > RP-18 W > C18-100

    Recommended application

  • NP or RP separation with eluents from anhydrous solvents to mixtures with high concentrations of water, relative polarity of the eluent determines the polarity of the layer
  • Aminophenols, barbiturates, preservatives, nucleobases, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, steroids, tetracyclines, plasticizers (phthalates)
