Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC)

The video tutorial explains thin layer chromatography (TLC), a technique used to separate compounds based on polarity. It covers the preparation of TLC plates, spotting samples, developing the plate with a solvent, and visualizing results using UV light or staining agents. The tutorial also discusses calculating retention factors (RF values) and the applications of TLC in monitoring reactions and selecting solvents for column chromatography.
