Low solvent
consumption |
20 mL of solvent is sufficient for the development of a 20x20cm plate, 10mL for a 20x10cm, and 5 mL for a 10x10cm HPTLC plate. This not only saves solvent, but also reduces the waste disposal problem.

Reproducible
pre-equilibration with
solvent vapor |
For pre-equilibration, the TLC plate is placed in the empty trough opposite the trough which contains the pre-conditioning solvent. Equilibration can be performed with any liquid and for any period of time.

 |
Start of development |
Development is started only when developing solvent is introduced into the trough with the plate.
