Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) is a standard analytical technique for separating non-volatile mixtures. It utilizes a stationary phase coated on a plate and a mobile solvent to isolate components based on polarity. This method is critical in pharmaceutical quality control for purity testing.
Store plates in a cool, dry place away from light to prevent degradation. Use appropriate PPE when handling toxic solvents like chloroform or methanol. Ensure adequate ventilation during development to avoid inhalation hazards.
