J. Anwar et R. Yasmeen, A NOVEL SYSTEM OF SOLVENT FLOW FOR PRESSURIZED THIN-LAYER CHROMATOGRAPHY, Journal of the Chemical Society of Pakistan, 18(4), 1996, pp. 298-301
A new pressurized flow system for circular thin layer chromatography i
s developed. The system consists of an ordinary TLC glass plate with a
hole in the center and a glass capillary fused on that hole. The solv
ent is applied to the plate through the capillary which is connected t
o a solvent reservoir with a plastic tubing. The system is significant
ly faster, reproducible and inexpensive than classical ascending TLC.
