A conditioning process is applied to guarantee consistency from plate to plate, lot to lot, and chemist to chemist. The user can prevent having to retest their sample or risk the compound decomposing ...

Do chemists really shell out $750 for a piece of lab equipment just to cut glass? That’s what Ramesh Jasti, a chemistry professor at the University of Oregon, asked chemists on Twitter back in October ...

Organic chemists often talk about spots in the context of thin-layer chromatography (TLC) plates. Usually they’re referring to the tiny blobs that climb from the bottom to the top of a TLC plate as a ...

Thin layer chromatography (TLC) coupled with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has emerged as a versatile platform for the separation and ultra-sensitive detection of trace analytes in ...
