Glass Backed TLC Classical Silica Gel Plate, 2.5 x 7.5 cm, 80 Pack

The TLC plates were fantastic to introduce my students to the concept.

I ordered these glass-backed plates just in case the aluminum plates I had on hand didn't work. When my fears proved correct, these plates worked flawlessly. The binding might be a bit less sturdy than other plates I've used in the past, but only required a bit more care with the pencil and capillary. Already bought more.

DO NOT BUYI bought these with the intention of using a UV light to read. Unfortunately they are not uv active. The listing has been updated since I made my purchase and now no longer claims that they are UV active. This is a waste of money for me since I need the uv active plates. I am unable to return my order because I missed the return window.
