CAMAG use TLC to detect toxicity

Published: 1-Apr-2008

CAMAG is using its expertise in thin layer chromatography (TLC) to detect toxic compounds and chemical impurities in waste and drinking water using a brand new system.


Using the Bioluminiser system, complex sample mixtures are first separated using high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) into separate zones. The plate is then treated with a bioluminescent bacterium Vibrio Fischer, which allows the identification of toxic zones or bioactive materials on the plate as dark spots against a luminescent background. It is also suitable for examining natural product extracts for any source of bioactivity.

The system is optimised for detecting bioluminescence patterns on TLC plates. It has been designed to balance the need for sensitivity, cost-effectiveness and ease of use. A cooled CCD Camera for high resolution and exceptional image quality is also available.

This system is available only from Omicron Research, CAMAG’s UK distributor.

The case for a facility monitoring system

In regulated manufacturing, monitoring environmental conditions and critical equipment is essential to protect product quality, yield, and patient safety. Facilities often use a Facility Monitoring System (FMS) to track factors like airborne particles, temperature, and humidity. Beyond regulatory compliance, FMS delivers real business value through reduced waste, improved yield, higher quality, and greater profitability
