Best Answer

Thin-layer chromatography consists of a stationary phase immobilised on a glass or plastic plate and a solvent as mobile phase. The sample, either liquid or dissolved in a volatile solvent, is deposited as a spot on the stationary phase. The constituents of a sample can be identified by simultaneously running standards with the unknown spot. One edge of the plate is then vertically placed in a solvent reservoir and the solvent moves up the plate by capillary action. When the solvent front reaches the other edge of the stationary phase, the plate is removed from the solvent reservoir. The separated spots are then visualized with ultraviolet light or by a suitable reaction procedure....:)
