Glass Cylindrical Developing Chamber for 5x20cm plates A75-52

Miles Scientific's cylindrical glass developing chamber provides a simple, reliable, and highly visible environment for thin layer chromatography (TLC) plate development. Constructed from clear, chemically resistant glass, the chamber offers excellent solvent compatibility and allows unobstructed observation of solvent front progression during separations.

The tall, narrow geometry minimizes solvent volume requirements while maintaining effective vapor saturation, promoting consistent and reproducible chromatographic development. Its 21.5 cm internal height accommodates standard analytical and narrow preparative plates positioned vertically with ample headspace for solvent equilibration.

A lightweight, close-fitting plastic lid reduces solvent evaporation, helps maintain chamber saturation, and protects contents from dust and laboratory contaminants. The smooth interior walls allow easy cleaning and rapid solvent changes between methods.
