There are two big advantages of thin later chromatography. They are 1. simplicity and 2. economy. The experimental setup is simle and eay to perform since it only involves spotting the stationary phase with the sample and placing one edge of the stationary phase plate in the mobile phase reservoir. The process is economical since the equipment required for the experiment is rather minimal. It only requires the TLC stationary phase, which is many cases is Silica and can be bought from a variety of commercial analytical chemistry lab suppliers. The mobile phase is generally prepared in the laboratory. In addition, the mobile phase travells up the stationary phase by capillary action, unlike in other chromatography setups where the mobile phase has to be pumped.

What are the differences between column and thin layer chromatography?

In chromatographic terms, TLC has great advantages over the other chromatography modes, such as Liquid Chromatography (LC), Column Chromatography (CC), Gas Chromatography (GC) and High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).TLC's advantages are: (1) the ability to perform multiple analyses simultaneously; (2) speed and ease for scouting separation conditions, such as optimum solvent mixtures.
