Trim Lab Budgets, Increase Flexibility
Often budget constraints require students to share TLC plates and experiments. Use just one box of plates – cut to size – allowing each student to run their own plate.
This decreases budgets, simplifies class preparation, and improves overall learning.
Also, achieve a lower cost per analysis while gaining more flexibility in your research. Simply use it to cut expensive plates into sizes that accommodate a small sample run.

A TLC plate cutter is a tool used in thin layer chromatography (TLC), a widely used method for separating and analyzing mixtures of compounds. TLC plate cutters are used to cut TLC plates into smaller pieces or strips, which are then placed in a solvent and used to separate the compounds in a sample. TLC plate cutters typically have a sharp blade that is used to cut through the TLC plate, which is made of a thin layer of silica or aluminum oxide on a glass backing.
