Chromatography in which the stationary phase is a thin layer of adsorbent gel coated on a glass or plastic plate. The sample is applied in a small spot at the base of the plate, and the plate is made to stand on edge in a solvent. As the solvent rises in the gel by capillary action, the sample components move at different rates and are separated into different spots. The plate is removed from the solvent, dried, and stained to visualize the components. 5, record 3, English, - thin%2Dlayer%20chromatography

Elle est particulièrement indiquée comme technique d'essai, ses résultats s'extrapolant immédiatement à la technique en colonne puisqu'on utilise les mêmes phases fixes et les mêmes solvants. 8, record 3, French, - chromatographie%20sur%20couche%20mince
