What Is CAMAG HPTLC And How Is It Helpful In Chromatography
High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) is chromatographic technique based on the principle of planar chromatography. It is a modernized version of Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) with enhanced capabilities. CAMAG is Swiss based company manufacturing TLC since 1961. They are the world leaders in instrumental HPTLC. First Manual TLC was into existence. Over the years the technique has evolved from manual to semi-automatic which now has upgraded to fully automated HPTLC PRO system in 2019 for routine quality control. HPTLC not only achieves miniaturization of chromatograms but most importantly better resolution and reproducibility with a state of art software for documentation and control over the instrumentation. It is cost effective with high throughput. Up to 15 samples can be run on plate at a time and with less solvent consumption. CAMAG HPTLC has modules of instruments combined to form a system. Each step has a designated module catering to analyst’s needs. Thes
