Planar chromatography, such as Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) and High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC), is a versatile analytical technique with numerous advantages used by analysts worldwide, e.g., in research, method development, and routine quality control. Easy and cost-effective methods are used for quick chromatographic analyses. In this webinar, we will discuss exciting highlights, e.g., combining planar chromatography with bioassays (bioautography), column chromatography (HPLC) and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). The integrated effect-directed analysis (EDA) enables a prioritization strategy on known and unknown hazardous or beneficial compounds. This webcast also features the new instrumental solution for reliable TLC plate analysis, the TLC Explorer Documentation System. This device ensures a safe and sustainable operation and performs reliable TLC imaging for videodensitometry, facilitating accurate quantitative analyses and consistent data interpretation.
The webcast, hosted by Bitesize Bio, will address the following topics:
- Introduction to planar chromatography
- Advantages of planar chromatography
- Planar chromatography combined with bioassays
- Features and benefits of the TLC Explorer Documentation system
