Nano-Silica Gel Extra Hard Layer (XHL) HPTLC Plates

New Binder System Creates Outstanding Silica Layer Hardness

Excellent abrasion resistance minimizes dust formation on the plate surface. Several advantages of the Nano-Silica XHL HPTLC Plates:

  • Easily labeled with a lead pencil for clear identification
  • High abrasion resistance prevents undesired changes or damage to the layer (thickness) during transportation or handling
  • The dust-free plate allows convenient handling and avoids TLC chamber cross-contamination
  • UV indicator of the Nano-Silica XHL HPTLC features an increased detection sensitivity
  • Increased sensitivity allows for successful trace analysis applications
  • Narrow fractionation of the silica particles for theoretical plate heights
  • One order of magnitude smaller than standard silica layers
  • Sharper separations and shorter developing times
  • Shorter migration distances and a lower amount of samples
  • Increased detection sensitivity with equal selectivity
