TLC Plates, Nano-SIL-Diol UV, 10x10cm

Nano-SIL DIOL diol-modified HPTLC silica layers

Technical characteristics
  • Nano silica 60, mean pore size 60Å, specific surface (BET) ~ 500m2/g,specific pore volume 0.75 mL/g, pH stability 2–8, particle size 2–10μm
  • Indicator: acid-resistant product with a pale blue fluorescence for short-wave UV (254nm), UV-absorbing substances appear as dark-blue to black spots on a light-blue background

    Modification
  • Aminopropyl modification, carbon content 3.5%
  • Order of polarity: silica > DIOL > NH2 > CN > RP-2 > C18-50 > RP-18 W > C18-100
  • Layer can be wetted equally well with pure water as with organic solvents

    Recommended application
  • Steroids, pesticides and plant constituents
  • For critical separations an alternative to silica
  • Since it is less sensitive to the water content of the environment, leads to more reproducible results compared to silica
