[UK] TLC plates needed

hexabio - 6-11-2017 at 05:03

Does anyone have any surplus TLC plates?
I need to purchase a box of 100, maybe 10cm x 60cm but beggars cant be choosers.
Please U2U me if you have some to sell.

I think you will have a hard time sourcing any that are 60 cm long, considering the standard "full-size" plate is 20x20 cm; for good reason too, because it would take hours to elute that far up a plate, and the chromatography tank would need to be massive also.

If you could clarify what you need (size, stationary phase, backing material) then I may be able to help out.

I got some boxs of unopened whatmann plates, but they are glass and 20cm long. What type you after?

I meant to say around 10cm x 6cm, but I am happy with any size as I guess I could score them and cut them down.
