13916699590thin layer chromatographya solid-liquid partitioning technique in which the mobile liquid phase ascends a thin layer of absorbent. The thin layer absorbent acts as a polar stationary phase for the sample to interact with. A very small sample is spotted near the base of the plate and via capillary action, the components of the spotted sample are partitioned between the mobile phase and the stationary phase.7
