I am studying plants a fair bit now, and a current project is comparing certain plants' chemicals and quantities. I am fairly able to work with tlc plates and reagents, and identifying some of the chemicals (still working on this, but a lot has to do with just playing and comparing with others work and reference samples etc).
But one thing i am still struggling to comprehend is the analysis in getting the quantity using TLC
. i know its not as accurate as other methods....but i have no lab so cost of columns and better equipment is a big limiting factor!
Anyone here have experience with this?
