Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC)
• Principle, Procedure, and Applications
• Your Name
• Institution
• Date
Introduction to Chromatography
• • Definition of chromatography
• • Brief history
• • Importance in analytical chemistry
What is TLC?
• • Definition of Thin Layer Chromatography
• • Diagram of a TLC plate (insert image if
needed)
Principle of TLC
• • Capillary action
• • Separation based on polarity and affinities
Components of TLC
• • Stationary phase: Silica gel or alumina
• • Mobile phase: Solvent
• • Sample: Compound to be separated
Materials Required
• • TLC plates
• • Developing chamber
• • Solvent system
• • Capillary tubes
• • UV lamp
Preparing the TLC Plate
• • Coating and drying
• • Activation by heating
• • Marking baseline
Spotting the Sample
• • Use of capillary tubes
• • Small and concentrated spots
Developing the Plate
• • Place in solvent chamber
• • Solvent rises by capillary action
• • Mark solvent front
Visualizing the Spots
• • UV light visualization
• • Iodine chamber
• • Staining reagents
Calculating Rf Value
• Rf = Distance moved by compound / Distance
moved by solvent
• • Example: Rf = 2.5 cm / 5.0 cm = 0.5
Factors Affecting TLC
• • Solvent polarity
• • Adsorbent type
• • Sample size
• • Chamber saturation
TLC vs. Other Chromatography
• • Comparison with paper chromatography
• • Comparison with HPLC/Column
chromatography
Applications of TLC
• • Drug and pharmaceutical analysis
• • Purity checking
• • Reaction monitoring
• • Food and dye testing
Advantages of TLC
• • Quick and simple
• • Low cost
• • Small sample size
Limitations of TLC
• • Semi-quantitative results
• • Limited resolution
• • Not for volatile samples
TLC in Modern Research
• • TLC-MS coupling
• • Preparative TLC
• • Forensic applications
Common Errors and
Troubleshooting
• • Uneven spotting
• • Overlapping spots
• • Incorrect solvent choice
Summary
• • TLC separates mixtures based on polarity
• • Quick and cost-effective
• • Useful in various fields
