TLC or Total Leukocyte Count - The leukocytes, or white blood cells, defend the body against infecting organisms and foreign agents, both in the tissues and in the bloodstream itself (Immune System). Human blood contains about 5,000 to 10,000 leukocytes per cubic millimeter. All blood cells (red, white, and platelets) are formed in the Bone Marrow.

You can save money by first going to your primary doctor, if you do not have one, it can be done at a clinic. If they are too low you may be safe, referred to an Oncologist (Cancer Doctor) or a Hematologist (Blood Doctor) if you know for sure your WBC-White Blood Cells are under 50,000, if so you should be checked for Leukemia, or other forms of Cancer or MDS, they will know what to look for to see if you just have a low immune system. In any case where the white cells are very low, you will be having an abnormal amount of unexplained infections.

What could be the reason for low TLC?

Low total leukocyte count (TLC), or leukopenia, can result from various factors, including bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, viral infections, and certain medications, such as chemotherapy. Nutritional deficiencies, particularly of vitamin B12 or folate, can also contribute to low TLC. Additionally, chronic illnesses or overwhelming infections may lead to a reduced white blood cell count as the body struggles to produce enough cells to meet demand.


Why is TLC a poor technique for the analysis of low boiling liquids?

TLC is a poor technique for low boiling liquids because these compounds may evaporate during the process, leading to inaccurate results. Additionally, their volatility may cause them to be carried out of the TLC plate, resulting in loss of sample and affecting the separation.


How does temperature affect chromatography?

The effect of temperature on retention characteristics in thin-layer chromatography (TLC) with low-volatility mobile phases (MP): It is shown that temperature variations in TLC in melts bring about variations in both the relative retention values and, in some cases, in the order of migration of the chromatographic zones across the layer.Hope that helped :)


What the possible effect of low hematocrit?

The possible effects of low hematocrit is that the body lacks enough red blood cells to efficiently oxygenate the body. The body is also cannot clot wounds as efficiently. This lack of oxygen will effect the body systems as must of the O2 rich cells are diverted to the brain.


What is edge effect in TLC?

The edge effect in thin-layer chromatography (TLC) refers to the phenomenon where the separation of compounds is affected by the edges of the TLC plate. This can lead to distorted or poor resolution of spots near the edges, often resulting in streaking or tailing. The effect is typically caused by uneven solvent distribution, variations in stationary phase thickness, or edge contamination. To minimize the edge effect, it is advisable to use a larger plate or ensure uniform application of the sample and solvent.

1. What will be the appearance of a TLC plate if a solvent of too low polarity is used for the development?

If a solvent of too low polarity is used for the development of a TLC plate, the substances may not migrate effectively, resulting in little to no separation. The spots of the compounds may remain close to the baseline, or they could appear as faint streaks. Overall, the TLC plate will show minimal movement of the compounds, indicating that the solvent was insufficiently polar to facilitate their migration.
