Miles Scientific AVICEL 500UM 20X20CM (25 PLATES/BOX)

Supplier: Miles Scientific P05012

These plates are coated with AVICEL microcrystalline cellulose manufactured by the American Viscose division of FMC Corp. The adsorbent consists of regenerated alpha cellulose particles of nearly spherical shape and 50 micron mean diameter. Compounds separated on this cellulose tend to form more compact spots than on fibrous cellulose layers. Preparative TLC plates have adsorbent layers thicker than the 250 micron layers normally used for analytical separations. Thus, preparative plates can be used for separation of larger quantities of materials.The loading capacity for a given degree of sample component resolution increases roughly as the square root of the increased adsorbent layer thickness.
