TLC Chromatography Sprayers, Rodaviss® Design
Manufacturer: Chemglass Life Sciences
Description
Key Functional Benefits:
- Fine Mist Control: The atomizer is precision-tuned to prevent "spotting" or overwetting of the silica layer, ensuring crisp visualization of spots
- Rodaviss® Security: The screw-cap joint design provides a mechanical lock that prevents the atomizer from popping off under pressure—a significant safety upgrade over standard ground-glass sprayers
- Chemical Durability: Equipped with a Viton O-ring, the sprayer is resistant to a wide variety of aggressive visualization reagents, including sulfuric acid and vanillin stains
- Ergonomic Operation: Designed for one-handed use, allowing the user to manage the spray flow while maintaining the proper distance from the TLC plate
Laboratory Protocol Insights:
- Pressure Regulation: If using a house air line, ensure a regulator is in place to keep the pressure at or below 5 PSI. Excessive pressure can cause the spray to become too coarse or cause the reservoir to fail.
- Maintenance: After each use, flush the atomizer top with a clean solvent (such as acetone or methanol) to prevent reagent crystallization in the fine glass capillary, which can lead to uneven spray patterns
- Grease-Free Advantage: Because the Rodaviss® joint is designed to be used dry, you avoid "ghost spots" on your TLC plates that often occur when silicone grease is dissolved by the spray reagent.
