Desaga HPTLC applicator

Semiautomatic devices suited for preparative purposes are the CAMAG Linomat 5, the Desaga HPTLC applicator AS 30, and the Alltech TLC sample streaker. For all devices, the syringe has to be filled manually with sample solution and rinsed after sample application. Except for the Alltech TLC sample streaker, each of these instruments can be employed either as software-controlled or as a stand-alone device. The former is more convenient for creation, editing, and saving of the application pattern and instrument parameters.
