Points on applications of thin layer chromatography (TLC) are discussed below. Also check out its advantages and disadvantages to learn about separation of mixture using thin layer chromatography.
- Thin layer chromatography is used to check the purity of samples
- It is used in identification of compouds like proteins, acids, alcohols, amines, alkaloids, antibiotics etc.,
- TLC is also used to evaluate reaction process by assessment of reaction course, intermediates etc.,
- TLC is used to keep a check on the performance or other separation processes
- Thin layer chromatography is used for identifying organic compounds, examination of reaction, as a purification process.
- Tlc as a check on process, Checking the progress of molecular distillation and for checking of distillation fractions.
- Used for separating anionic, cationic, purely covalent species and also some organic derivatives of the metals
- Application of tlc in quantitative analysis
- In clinical study to carry out qualitative and quantitative analysis
- For analyzing the dye composition of fibres in the forensic study
- Identifying the isolated compounds
- Used in synthetic chemistry, also used for following the progress or a chemica reaction
- Separating sufficient amount of components of an extract
