Will the PhosphorImager system do TLC plates?
A. Yes. But take care not to contaminate your storage phosphor screen with 14C. Make sure that your TLC plate is absolutely dry before starting your exposure, and place a sheet of Mylar between the TLC plate and the storage phosphor screen. Eight-by-ten inch sheets of .001 inch thick Mylar (polyethylene terephthalate) can be purchased from Fralock Corporation in Canoga Park, California (tel. 818-709-1288).
