The TLC & HPTLC Glass Plate-Cutter is a precision manual tool designed for laboratories engaged in thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC). Built for accuracy, safety, and convenience, it enables clean, consistent cutting of glass-backed chromatography plates to desired sizes without edge chipping or material loss.
Engineered for reliability, the cutter features a sharp, durable blade and adjustable measurement guides that allow users to customize plate dimensions according to experimental needs. The ergonomic handle ensures smooth and controlled cutting with minimal effort, making it ideal for repetitive tasks in both academic and industrial laboratories.
The cutter’s non-slip base ensures safe and stable operation on laboratory benches, reducing the risk of injury or error during use. Its compact design allows it to fit seamlessly into any lab environment without occupying excessive space. Because it is entirely manual, it requires no power source and can be used in fieldwork or off-grid settings.
Compatible with a wide range of TLC and HPTLC glass plates, the cutter is a valuable tool for labs performing routine sample analysis, pharmaceutical testing, forensic work, and quality control procedures. It’s also easy to maintain, with accessible blade replacement and minimal moving parts, ensuring long-term performance and reliability.
The TLC & HPTLC Glass Plate-cutter is a routine in many chromatography laboratories either to economise on plate usage or to cut the plate following separation for further derivatization. The cutter consists of a high-quality carbide scriber mounted into a movable plastic head. It is designed for cutting glass backed TLC/HPTLC plates up to 200 x 200 mm.
