Rp 18 f254

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in Germany, United States, China

RP-18 F254S is a type of reversed-phase silica gel thin-layer chromatography (TLC) plate. It is used for the separation, identification, and quantification of various organic compounds. The plate is coated with a layer of silica gel modified with n-octadecylsilyl (C18) functional groups, which provide a non-polar stationary phase. The plate also contains a fluorescent indicator (F254S) that allows for the visualization of separated compounds under ultraviolet (UV) light.

Reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography aluminum-backed silica plates (RP-18F 254, 20 × 20 cm, Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) were used to fractionate the ethyl acetate extract of T. brownii leaves. Ellagic acid (E-2250, Sigma-Aldrich, Gillingham, UK), gallic acid (G-7384, Sigma-Aldrich, China), apigenin (Extrasynthese 286 Genay, France), corilagin (Sigma-Aldrich, Darmstadt, Germany), luteolin (Sigma-Aldrich, Darmstadt, Germany) and quercetin (Merck Art. 7546, 285 Darmstadt, Germany) were used as reference pure compounds, since many of them were previously known from Terminalia. A total of 20 µL of extract and compounds at 50 mg/mL and 5 mg/mL, respectively, was applied equidistantly 1.5 cm from the bottom of the TLC plate. The plate was developed in a mobile phase of methanol: water: orthophosphoric acid (50:50:1, v:v:v). The spots were visualized using a Camag Video documentation System (Camag Reprostar 3 TLC Visualizer) and two UV wavelengths at 366 and 254 nm.
The developed TLC plates (RP-18 F254s Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) containing the ethyl acetate extract of the T. brownii leaves were in situ subjected to qualitative antioxidant analysis using 0.2% w/v of the 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl reagent (DPPH, Sigma-Aldrich D9132-1G, Schnelldorf, Germany). All compounds with antioxidant properties were revealed with yellow color in visible light.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
