Whatman chromatography papers are the most widely used papers for chromatography worldwide. This acceptance and usage reflects the purity, high quality and consistency of Whatman papers. These qualities are relied upon by chromatographers and essential to successful reproducible chromatography. Whatman chromatography paper media are made from specially selected cotton cellulose. They are rigorously quality controlled for characteristics important to the chromatographer and to ensure uniformity within the grade.

ALUGRAM^®
Nano silica 60, specific surface (BET) ~ 500m²/g, mean pore size 60Å, specific pore volume 0.75ml/g, particle size 2 to 10µm. Indicator: manganese activated zinc silicate with green fluorescence for short-wave UV (254nm).

Binder: highly polymeric product, which is stable in almost all organic solvents and resistant towards aggressive visualisation reagents. Narrow fractionation of the silica particles allows sharper separations, shorter developing times, shorter migration distances, smaller samples and an increased detection sensitivity compared to SIL G plates.

Available as glass plates with or without fluorescent indicator (UV254).

The primary field of application is the partition chromatography of polar substances such as amino acids, carboxylic acids or carbohydrates. The TLC-plates are available as glass plates, POLYGRAM^® polyester sheets and ALUGRAM^® aluminium sheets.
