Available from Analtech are pre-scraped rotors that are sandwiched between specially molded plastic trays. These rotors can
be taken directly from the packaging to the company's CycloGraph or Chromatotron system and be used immediately. All sizes
from 1 mm to 8 mm are available. Additionally, the packaging can be used as a storage rack.
Merck offers a brochure covering its complete range of thin layer chromatography (TLC) products. Product families consist
of a broad range of conventional silica TLC plates, high performance silica plates (HPTLC) and a wide choice of RP-modified
and cellulose plates. Additionally, various special products are included in the brochure such as concentrating zone plates
and the company's UTLC and LiChrospher. In addition to this brochure offer, the company has released two types of HPTLC plates.
The ProteoChrom silica and the ProteoChrom cellulose are both suitable for peptide analysis. The 20 × 20 cm PoteoChrom silica
plates use an extra thin 100 μm silica layer that is suitable for one-dimensional separations. Whereas the 10 × 10 cm ProteoChrom
cellulose sheets are optimal for two-dimensional separations. Both of these plates include special developed user protocols
that cover all steps from plate development to detection with recommendations on solvent systems and staining.
Camag has released a bibliography service that includes more than 100 abstracts of recent publications, demonstrating the
flexibility of thin-layer chromatography (TLC). The CBS 98 emphasises planar chromatography as an essential component of modern
analysis, for example, a method for the identification of unknown toxins in water using high performance (HP)TLC–MS coupling
is featured. This bibliography is free-of-charge and an updated cumulative version can be downloaded from the company's website.
Additionally, Camag Laboratory, the centre for applied HPTLC now has its own website: http://www.camag-laboratory.com/. Results of basic and applied research projects are available through the website and a portfolio of services has been established
to share knowledge with customers.
