SOP for Calibration of High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC)

OBJECTIVE

To check the performance of High performance thin layer chromatography.

SCOPE

This procedure is applicable to calibrate high performance thin layer chromatography.

RESPONSIBILITY

Doing : Technical Assistant

Checking : Executive /Manager

ACCOUNTABILITY

Head of the Department

PROCEDURE

• Check the performance of the instrument in terms of

1. Linearity of spotting (Annexure-I)
2. Reproducibility of spotting (Annexure-II)

• Prepare the mobile phase as per the method given in Annexure-I.
• Prepare the solution as mentioned in Annexure-I
• Use 10 X 10 cm HPTLC plate (Kieselgel 60F254 or Identical)

For Linearity of Spotting

1. Apply 2 μl, 4μl, 6μl, 8μl and 10 μl of solution on HPTLC plate with spotter.
2. Allow the plate to run in mobile phase.
3. Dry the plate with drier.
4. Scan the plate with scanner.
5. Check the linearity and corelation coefficient.
6. Fill in the Data as mentioned in Annexure-I

Reproducibility of Spotting

• Apply 10μl solution on HPTLC plate for five times in sequence
• Allow the plate to run in mobile phase.
• Dry the plate with drier.
• Scan the plate with scanner.
• Calculate the RSD for five track ( RSD Limit : N.M.T 3.0%)
• Fill in the data mentioned in Annexure-II
