Product news
MACHEREY-NAGEL presents its new TLC product ALUGRAM® Xtra. ALUGRAM® Xtra SIL G aluminium sheets are covered with unmodified silica from own manufacturing. This new product features:
• outstanding wettability (even for 100 % aqueous visualisation reagents)
• easy and perfect cutting (no flaking of silica during every kind of cutting process)
• excellent separation efficiency and reproducibility from lot to lot
The newly developed binder is a highly polymeric product, which is stable in almost all organic solvents and resistant towards aggressive visualisation reagents. The binder system for ALUGRAM® Xtra is also completely stable in purely aqueous eluents. Thus, these TLC aluminium sheets offer a broad range of applications.

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.Thin Layer ChromatographyThin-layer chromatography (TLC), also called planar chromatography, is an inexpensive and simple liquid chromatographic technique used to separate and identify small amounts of compound in a mixture, monitor progress of a reaction or determine purity of substance. TLC plates come in multiple sizes with common adsorbent layers being silica, aluminum oxide or cellulose and high-performance (HP-TLC) plates are also available for increased sensitivity. Other equipment needed includes TLC developing chambers, applicators, TLC sprayers and visualizing devices, such as a viewing cabinet and UV lamp.
