Silica gel thin-layer chromatography (TLC) plates are a common tool used in chromatography for separating and analyzing mixtures of compounds. TLC is a technique in which a stationary phase (the silica gel) and a mobile phase (a solvent or mixture of solvents) are used to separate and identify components in a sample.
Silica gel is a porous, amorphous form of silicon dioxide (SiO2). In TLC plates, it is often mixed with a binder to form a thin layer on a glass, metal, or plastic support. Silica gel is a common stationary phase in TLC due to its polar nature and high surface area.
