Basic TLC design

Basic TLC design involves spotting a plate, developing the plate in a suitable solvent, and detecting the spots after development. When substances such as dyes are used in the TLC process, no detection reagent is needed because the dyes are chromogenic, that is, have intrinsic color. 

Basic TLC design is illustrated here with the aid of a three-component lipophilic dye mixture (Mallinkrodt dye 3082, containing 1 ig/(J.l of each dye), containing butter yellow, Sudan red G, and indophenol blue. Various other lipophilic dyes are available commercially, including four- to six-component mixtures. For further information, consult the Analtech catalog. One of Stahl s (1969) major contributions to TLC was the introduction of standard dyes to test basic TLC procedures. 

TLC cellulose powders consist of two basic types, native fibrous and microcrystalline. An example of the fibrous type is Macheiy-Nagel MN-300 and of the microcrystalline, Avicel . The fibrous type is best for the transfer of procedures originally designed for paper chromatography. Because of the particulate nature of TLC microcrystalline cellulose powder, spots formed on plates of this cellulose are more compact than in paper chromatography, and separations are more rapid. Because of the fine particulate nature of microcrystalline cellulose, it may act partly by the mechanism of adsorption chromatography. Separation capabilities of both types have been reported [15]. Cellulose sorbent can be prepared as a 15-35%... 

When designing an experiment for measuring temperature fields with TLCs, a basic hardware setup is needed which is exemplarily shown in Fig. 3. fri general two different setups are possible. On the left side of Fig. 3, a thin metallic heating foil is used for observing the heat transfer from a hot wall to a cold liquid. On the back side...
