Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC)

We know how to perform extraction, which can separate compounds on the basis of differing solubilities. But what if they have the same solubility? Well there is another technique that utilizes differences in polarity, and it's called chromatography. There are many varieties of chromatography, but the best way to introduce the concept will be to look at thin layer chromatography, or TLC for short. Check it out!
