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

• Mean pore diameter 60 Å
• Pore volume about 0.75 ml/g
• Specific surface 500 m2/g, particle size 2-10 µm
• Available with/without fluorescent indicator (green fluorescence, 254 nm)
