Superior Plate Compatibility and Capacity

Accommodate both standard and preparative TLC plates for greater flexibility in laboratory analysis. The adjustable rack system allows for 10-12 plates to be processed per run, enhancing productivity and throughput. Efficient plate organization within the 33 x 26 x 7 cm chamber ensures optimal space utilization and consistency in results.

Robust Chemical Resistance and Safety

The chamber is crafted from premium borosilicate glass, fashioned with a chemical-resistant, airtight lid. This construction ensures superior durability when handling a broad spectrum of organic solvents, while the smooth, non-reactive surfaces expedite cleaning and uphold sample integrity. Safety and longevity are prioritized for repeated laboratory use.

Real-Time Monitoring and Easy Maintenance

A transparent glass viewing window makes it easy to observe the TLC process from start to finish, without disrupting the environment within the chamber. The non-reactive, smooth surfaces and removable components facilitate quick cleaning, supporting rigorous laboratory hygiene standards and the apparatus long service life.
