What Does PLC Stand For?
PLC stands for Preparative Thin Layer Chromatography
PLC, or Preparative Thin Layer Chromatography, is a chromatographic technique utilized for the separation and purification of compounds from complex mixtures. This method involves the use of a thin layer of stationary phase, typically silica gel or alumina, which allows for the selective isolation of target substances based on their differing affinities to the stationary and mobile phases. PLC is widely employed in pharmaceutical research, organic synthesis, and analytical chemistry for its efficiency in scaling up the purification process and yielding high-purity products.
