TLC-MS Products & Reviews

Coupling TLC plates with mass spectrometry (TLC-MS) is a new field of high interest in planar chromatography. One particular advantage of TLC-MS is the flexibility it offers in the choice of mobile phases for separations. In comparison, HPLC-MS coupling does not allow the use of certain mobile phases, such as inorganic buffers.

The TLC-MS Interface 2 enables users to directly analyze zones from TLC and HPTLC plates by mass spectrometry. A substance confirmation can be obtained in less than a minute.

The Plate Express™ is a push-button TLC plate reader for results in <30 seconds. The system provides a simple, automated means of obtaining mass spectra directly from TLC plates, combined with Advion Interchim Scientific’s expression® compact mass spectrometer (CMS) creating a technique known as TLC/CMS.
