Similar to other chromatographic processes such as column chromatography, HPLC, gas chromatography (GC), and paper chromatography, thin-layer chromatography is also based on the principle of separation. The separation of analytes is based on its relative affinity towards the stationary phase and mobile phase. Under the influence of the mobile phase, analytes are moves (by capillary action) over the surface of the stationary phase. The analytes have a higher affinity toward the stationary phase, they travel slowly while the others elute rapidly. When separation happens, the individual molecules are visualized as spots and we can determine the Rf value and other required parameters.
- Qualitative and quantitative analysis of compounds is the major application of high-performance thin-layer chromatography.
- HPTLC used in the quality control of pharmaceuticals.
- It is used to qualitative analysis of components in biological fluids and formulations.
- For the detection of drugs and metabolites, it is used in pharmacokinetics.
- The food industry uses HPTLC to estimate vitamins, nutrients, pesticides, and beverages from foodstuff, fruits, and vegetables.
- High-performance thin-layer chromatography can use in many industrial applications
- This method is significantly used in the forensic department for identification of substances, including drug abuse adulteration, and counterfeit drugs,
- It can be used for the stability testing of substance.
- High-performance thin-layer chromatography can use in environmental analysis.
What
is the major disadvantage between HPTLC
The
major disadvantage of HPTLC is that it has a higher analysis cost than TLC.
What
are the basic steps involved in the HPTLC procedure?
The
basic steps involved in HPTLC are the selection of the stationary phase,
selection and optimization of the mobile phase, preparation of the sample,
application of sample, chromatogram development, and detection of the separated
sample.
What
is the principle of thin-layer chromatography (TLC)?
TLC
operates on the principle that different molecules have different solubility
and adsorption between two phases that separate them.
What
is the major difference between HPTLC and TLC?
The
major difference between HPTLC and TLC is the particle and pore size of the
sorbents.
