Question { Ranbaxy, 37943 }
What is the superiority of TLC over paper chromatography?
Answer
The superiority of TLC over paper chromatography
because of inorganic nature of adsorbent concentrated
sulfuric acid spray followed by heating may be used to
develope on the chromatogram by charring.
moreover aminoacid mixtures which require 18 hours for
seperation on paper require 3 hrs using cellulose TLC.
advantage also lies in choice of adsobents which allow
seperation not possible on paper.
