There are a number of videos available that demonstrate thin layer chromatography – we figured it might be helpful to put some of these here as an easy reference.

NOTE: we were not involved with the production of any of these videos, we want to make sure you give credit where credit is due – so we’ve included any information we can from the individuals and organizations responsible for these productions. Also, these videos are offered in no particular order.

Please feel free to send along any videos to add to the collection.
