A conditioning process is applied to guarantee consistency from plate to plate, lot to lot, and chemist to chemist. The user can prevent having to retest their sample or risk the compound decomposing ...

Organic chemists often talk about spots in the context of thin-layer chromatography (TLC) plates. Usually they’re referring to the tiny blobs that climb from the bottom to the top of a TLC plate as a ...

This build uses a practice called thin layer chromatography, which separates the components of a mixture by allowing them to travel at different rates across a thin adsorbent layer using a solvent.

Chromatography is relied on by many disciplines as a method of separating the components of a mixture. The basic idea of the process is that distinct compounds have different levels of solubility, ...

From TLC troubleshooting to safer solvent swaps, organic chemistry labs are evolving to be more precise, sustainable, and student-friendly. CHE 135 at UC Davis blends advanced techniques with ...
