What is HPTLC and how is it different from HPLC?
HPTLC stands for High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography. It is different from HPTLC as it does not involve the use of column and pump. Herein there is a silica-coated plate analogous to the HPLC column where the analytes are separated and the mobile phase is a developing solvent, which moves along the length of the plate through capillary action.
