EMD RP-modified Silica Plates (TLC and HPTLC)

These plates serve two purposes: act as a pilot method for HPLC and allow to choose various solvent system for special separations. RP-modified silica layers from EMD are well suited for many separation challenges that unmodified silica cannot overcome. These layers use aqueous solvent systems to separate extremely non-polar substances and analyze particular polar substances that can adapt to ion-pair chromatography.

What’s more, RP-modified silica layers are less dependent on atmospheric humidity. Unlike unmodified silica, RP-phases do not exhibit catalytic activity
