General description

Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) plates for adsorption, partition, and ion-exchange techniques. Six media choices with glass, polyester, and aluminum backings. Silica-based adsorbent layers in Sigma-Aldrich TLC plates incorporate a polymeric binder; highly purified silica gel plates incorporate a gypsum/polymer binder.
  • Silica gel - for weakly to strongly polar separations, pore size 60 Å
  • High purity silica gel - acid washed for separation of aflatoxins
  • Cellulose - for partition chromatography, (SigmaCell Type 100 Cellulose)
  • Cellulose PEI - for separation of weak anions (amino acids, peptides) PEI plates may turn slightly yellow, affecting separation. Pre-develop plates in distilled water to minimize yellow color.
  • Chiral silica - for separation of optically active isomers by ligand exchange, pore size 60Å

Application


  • Eco-friendly oil-water separation using bio-Zn oxide-based superhydrophobic membrane: Discusses the development of an environmentally friendly method for oil-water separation using zinc oxide, showcasing its application in water treatment technologies and highlighting its sustainable aspects (Beagan et al., 2024).

  • Enhancement of lettuce growth and reduction of chromium uptake: Studies the combined application of zinc oxide and iron nanoparticles to improve plant growth and reduce heavy metal uptake in contaminated soils, emphasizing its significance in environmental and agricultural sciences (Sameer et al., 2024).

  • Surface modification of metal oxides for nanoparticle stability and toxicity reduction: Investigates the effects of surface modifications of zinc oxide on the stability and potential toxicity of nanoparticles, providing insights into safer nanoparticle applications in biotechnology and materials science (Monem et al., 2024).

  • Development of advanced materials for gas sensing: Examines the application of defect engineering in zinc oxide nanorods to enhance methane gas sensing capabilities, demonstrating the material′s potential in developing sophisticated sensors for environmental monitoring (Li et al., 2024).
