What is Elutioplate

Elutioplate is a web-app to analyze TLC (Thin-Layer Chromatography) plates, from images of them. Elutioplate is able to calculate RF (Retention Factor), intensity, color and more. The manual can be found here.

Who & Contact

Elutioplate is developed by Victor Kyllesbech at Vrije Universiteit, and has been published as [Publication Title] in [Journal] in collaboration with [], detailing its use among chemistry students. Elutioplate is open-source and published under the [LICENSE] with code freely available on Github and Zenodo, If you want to contact me for Elutioplate-specific inquiries, please email elutioplate@kyll.dk

Intensity Example

If you want to try out Elutioplate, you can download the Example TLC Plate used in the Manual here. This TLC plate contains various concentrations of N-Benzyl Benzamide, as listed in the table below. Using the intensity calculation, a linear relationship between concentration and intensity can be found.

Color/RF Example

Another example TLC plate, is also available showing different colors, and retention factor values for different spots, this plate can be downloaded Here.

I'd like to extend a special thanks to Adrian G. Rossebø, who provided me with the idea for Elutioplate and, has been instrumental in the testing, and provided images of TLC plate for testing, including the example TLC plate used in the manual .

Code Used in This Project
