Alfa Chemistry, a reliable chemical supplier, is pleased to announce the addition of a comprehensive range of derivatization reagents for use in Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC).

These reagents are specifically designed to enhance the detection and analysis of compounds on TLC plates, enabling researchers to achieve better results in their experiments.

Derivatization reagents

Derivatization reagents play a crucial role in TLC analysis by improving the visibility and differentiation of compounds on the chromatogram. By reacting with the analytes, these reagents can produce coloured or fluorescent derivatives that are easier to detect and quantify. This can be especially helpful for compounds with low UV absorbance or poor natural visibility.

Alfa Chemistry’s new line of derivatization reagents includes popular options such as:

• ninhydrin (CAS 485-47-2)
• anisaldehyde
• phosphomolybdic acid (CAS 12026-57-2)
• many others

These reagents can be used for a wide range of applications, including the detection of amino acids, carbohydrates, steroids, and other organic compounds.

“We are excited to offer these high-quality derivatization reagents to our customers,” said a spokesperson for Alfa Chemistry. “With our extensive selection of reagents, researchers can choose the most suitable options for their specific TLC applications, helping them to achieve accurate and reliable results.”
