General description

25 Aluminium sheets 20 x 20 cm
Our classical silica TLC plates are based on a combination of our proven silica gel 60 and the addition of a unique polymeric binder resulting in a very adherent and hard surface that will not crack or blister and even allow writing with a pensil on the surface without risk to damage the layer.

Application


  • Spectrofluorimetric and stability-indicating thin layer chromatographic methods for determination of cabergoline, a prolactin inhibitor in pharmaceuticals: This study developed a new approach for the simultaneous determination of cabergoline using Silica gel 60 TLC aluminum sheets, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency in pharmaceutical analysis (Rizk, Mahmoud, Azab, 2022).

  • Systemic Optimization and Validation of Normal and Reversed-Phase Eco-Friendly Chromatographic Methods for Simultaneous Determination of Paracetamol and Phenylephrine Hydrochloride: Utilized Silica gel 60 TLC aluminum sheets to establish a robust and environmentally friendly chromatographic method, contributing significantly to sustainable lab practices (Farid, Mostafa, Fayez, Essam, 2022).

  • A High Performance Thin Layer Chromatographic Method Using a Design of Experiment Approach for Estimation of Phytochemicals in Extracts of Moringa Oleifera Leaves: Demonstrated the use of Silica gel 60 TLC aluminum sheets for high-resolution phytochemical analysis, proving crucial for natural product research and quality control (Thomas, Kanakdhar, Shirsat, Deshkar, Kothapalli, 2020).

  • Concurrent production and relative quantification of vasicinone from in vivo and in vitro plant parts of Malabar nut (Adhatoda vasica Nees): This research highlights the application of Silica gel 60 TLC aluminum sheets in the quantification of plant-derived compounds, aiding in medicinal plant research (Panigrahi, Gantait, Patel, 2017).

  • Assessment of aflatoxin B1 in livestock feed and feed ingredients by high-performance thin layer chromatography: Applied Silica gel 60 TLC aluminum sheets for detecting and quantifying aflatoxin B1, ensuring safety and compliance in animal feed production (Kotinagu, Mohanamba, Kumari, 2015).

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
