PRODUCT CODE: OSS-1022
Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) Developing Chambers, specialized laboratory glass tanks used for chemical analysis. These specific models are designed with a magnetic rod system to "hang" TLC sheets, a feature that improves the precision of the separation process.
Key Features & Purpose
Chromatography Development: These chambers are used to separate mixtures into their individual components. A TLC sheet is placed inside, and a solvent (mobile phase) travels up the sheet by capillary action.
Magnetic Rod System: The integrated magnetic rod allows you to hang flexible TLC sheets (typically aluminum or plastic-backed) securely. This ensures the sheet remains perfectly vertical and does not touch the walls, preventing uneven development or "edge effects".
Vapor Saturation: The glass lids (shown with decorative knobs) create a sealed environment. This is critical because the chamber must be saturated with solvent vapor for the chemical spots to move consistently.
Dual Sizes: The image shows a larger chamber for standard 20x20 cm sheets and a smaller one for half-sized or analytical sheets.
Typical Components
Glass Tank: Heavy-duty, chemical-resistant glass (often borosilicate) with a flat bottom for stability.
Vertical Grooves: The lines on the side of the glass help guide the magnetic rod or support traditional glass plates if needed.
Magnetic Clips: These attach to the rod to pinch and hold the top of the chromatography sheet.
