Preferred Label : planar chromatography;
IUPAC acronym : PC; TLC;
IUPAC definition : A separation technique in which the stationary phase is present as or on a plane.
The plane can be a paper, serving as such or impregnated by a substrate as the stationary
bed (paper chromatography, PC) or a layer of solid particles spread on a support e.g.
a glass plate (thin layer chromatography, TLC). Sometimes planar chromatography is
also termed open-bed chromatography.;
