Analtech TLC Plates

From pharmaceutical development to quality control in soils and foods to forensic studies, Thin Layer Chromatography is used in labs around the world. 
TLC is a relatively simple and established technique. First developed in the 1930s and popularized in the 1950s and 60s, TLC remains an essential technology because it is fast, economical, reliable, and has certain inherent advantages for the analyst.
Today, TLC is used in thousands of laboratories all over the world. Analtech, Inc. is proud to supply these labs with the highest quality TLC plates and accessories and to work with educational institutions to help train future generations of scientists
