2.2.27. Thin-layer chromatography

薄层色谱法

Thin-layer chromatography is a separation technique in which a stationary phase

consisting of an appropriate material is spread in a uniform thin layer on a support

(plate) of glass, metal or plastic. Solutions of analytes are deposited on the plate prior

to development. The separation is based on adsorption, partition, ion-exchange or on

combinations of these mechanisms and is carried out by migration (development) of

solutes (solutions of analytes) in a solvent or a suitable mixture of solvents (mobile

phase) through the thin-layer (stationary phase).

薄层色谱法是一种分离技术，这种技术采用由适当物质作为固定相均匀涂布在玻

璃、金属或塑料的支持物上。在展开前，供试品液点样在薄层板上。分离原理是

供试品溶解在溶剂中或合适的混合溶剂中（流动相）在薄层上（固定相）通过吸

附、分配、离子交换或以上机制共同作用移动（展开）来实现的。

APPARATUS 仪器

Pre-treatment of the plates. It may be necessary to wash the plates prior to separation.

This can be done by migration of an appropriate solvent. The plates may also be

impregnated by procedures such as development, immersion or spraying. At the time

of use, the plates may be activated, if necessary, by heating in an oven at 120 °C for

20 min.

薄板预处理：在分离前用适当的溶剂来清洗薄板。可用适当的溶剂洗脱。在进行

展开、浸渍或喷雾显色过程中要将薄板浸透。使用时，如果需要，要在120℃干

燥箱中加热20min活化薄板。

METHOD 方法:

Sample application. Apply the prescribed volume of the solutions at a suitable

distance from the lower edge and from the sides of the plate and on a line parallel to

the lower edge; allow an interval of at least 10 mm (5 mm on high-performance plates)

between the centers of circular spots and 5 mm (2 mm on high-performance plates)

between the edges of bands. Apply the solutions in sufficiently small portions to

obtain circular spots 2-5 mm in diameter (1-2 mm on high-performance plates) or

bands 10-20 mm (5-10 mm on high-performance plates) by 1-2 mm.

点样：取规定体积的溶液点样，要距离底边和侧边合适的位置上，并且点样基线

与底边平行；点样点一般为圆点，各圆点中心间的距离至少为10mm（高效薄层

板间距为5mm），条带间边距5mm（高效薄层板间距为2mm）。点样点应尽量

小，直径一般2-5mm（高效薄层板上直径为1-2mm）或10-20mm长的条带（高

校薄层板为5-10mm）。

Vertical development. Line the walls of the chromatographic tank with filter paper.

Pour into the chromatographic tank a sufficient quantity of the mobile phase for the

size of the tank to give after impregnation of the filter paper a layer of appropriate

depth related to the dimension of the plate to be used. For saturation of the

chromatographic tank, replace the lid and allow to stand at 20-25 °C for 1 h. Unless

otherwise indicated in the monograph, the chromatographic separation is performed in

a saturated tank. Apply the prescribed volume of solutions as described above. When

the solvent has evaporated from the applied solutions, place the plate in the

chromatographic tank, ensuring that the plate is as vertical as possible and that the

spots or bands are above the surface of the mobile phase. Close the chromatographic

tank, maintain it at 20-25 °C and protect from sunlight. Remove the plate when the

mobile phase has moved over the prescribed distance, measured between the points of

application and the solvent front. Dry the plate and visualise the chromatograms as

prescribed.

垂直展开： 沿着层析缸的壁贴滤纸。向层析缸中加入适合层析缸大小的足够量

的流动相,根据使用的薄层板的大小浸没一定深度的滤纸。为了饱和层析缸，密

封顶盖，在20℃-25℃放置1h。 如果无其它说明，在饱和层析缸中进行色谱分

离。应用以上提到的规定体积的溶剂。当溶剂已从点样溶液中蒸发，则将薄层板

垂直置于层析缸中，确保斑点或条带要在流动相液面以上。密封层析缸，避光放

置在20℃-25℃下。待展开至规定距离取出薄层板，测定点样点与溶剂前沿的距

离。晾干，按规定检视色谱图。

For two-dimensional chromatography, dry the plates after the first development and

carry out a second development in a direction perpendicular to that of the first

development.

对于双向色谱法，第一次展开后干燥薄层板，将薄层板转动90°，按第一次展

开方法进行第二次展开。

Horizontal development. Apply the prescribed volume of the solutions as described

above. When the solvent has evaporated from the applied solutions, introduce a

sufficient quantity of the mobile phase into the trough of the chamber using a syringe

or pipette, place the plate in the chamber after verifying that the latter is horizontal

and connect the mobile phase direction device according to the manufacturer’s

instructions. If prescribed, develop the plate starting simultaneously at both ends.

Close the chamber and maintain it at 20-25 °C. Remove the plate when the mobile

phase has moved over the distance prescribed in the monograph. Dry the plate and

visualise the chromatograms as prescribed.

For two-dimensional chromatography, dry the plates after the first development and

carry out a second development in a direction perpendicular to that of the first

development.

Identification. The principal spot in the chromatogram obtained with the test solution

is visually compared to the corresponding spot in the chromatogram obtained with the

reference solution by comparing the colour, the size and the retardation factor (R

F

) of

both spots.

F

) is defined as the ratio of the distance from the point of

application to the centre of the spot and the distance travelled by the solvent front

from the point of application.

比移值（Rf）的定义为是基线到展开斑点中心的距离与点样点至展开剂前沿的距

离的比值。

Verification of the separating power for identification. Normally the performance

given by the suitability test described in Reagents (错误!未指定书签。) is sufficient.

Only in special cases an additional performance criterion is prescribed in the

monograph.

够了。只有在特殊情况下，专论中会有其它的性能标准。

Related substances test. The secondary spot(s) in the chromatogram obtained with the

test solution is (are) visually compared to either the corresponding spot(s) in the

chromatogram obtained with the reference solution containing the impurity(ies) or the

spot in the chromatogram obtained with the reference solution prepared from a

dilution of the test solution.

QUANTITATIVE MEASUREMENT 定量测定

The requirements for resolution and separation are prescribed in the monographs

concerned.

分辨率和分离度的要求在相关专论中有描述。

Substances separated by thin-layer chromatography and responding to UV-Vis

irradiation can be determined directly on the plate, using appropriate instrumentation.

While moving the plate or the measuring device, examine the plate by measuring the

reflectance of the incident light. Similarly, fluorescence may be measured using an

appropriate optical system. Substances containing radionuclides can be quantified in 3

ways: either directly by moving the plate alongside a suitable counter or vice versa

(see 错误!未指定书签。), by cutting the plates into strips and measuring the

radioactivity on each individual strip using a suitable counter or by scraping off the

stationary phase, dissolving it in a suitable scintillation cocktail and measuring the

radioactivity using a liquid scintillation counter.

可由薄层色谱分离并且对紫外照射有反应的物质可以通过合适的仪器来直接在

薄层板上检测。移动薄层板或检测仪器，通过测量入射光的反射率或透光率来检

测薄层板。同样利用合适的光学系统则可以测量荧光。含有放射性核素的物质可

以通过三种方式进行定量：可直接通过移动薄层板靠在一合适计数器旁或反之

（见放射性药品制备 0125），或通过将薄层板切成小条，利用一合适的计数器

测量每个小条的放射性，或刮去固定相，将其溶解于合适的闪烁体中，利用液体

闪烁计数器测量放射性。

Apparatus. The apparatus for direct measurement on the plate consists of:

仪器 直接测量薄层板的仪器包括：

– a device for exact positioning and reproducible dispensing of the amount of

substances onto the plate;

— 一个可以准确定位，并且重复分配薄层板上物质的量的仪器；

– a mechanical device to move the plate or the measuring device along the x-axis or

the y-axis;

— 一个可以移动薄层板的机械装置或者沿着X-轴或Y-轴的测量设备；

– a recorder and a suitable integrator or a computer;

— 记录仪和一个合适的积分仪或计算机；

– for substances responding to UV-Vis irradiation: a photometer with a source of light,

an optical device able to generate monochromatic light and a photo cell of adequate

sensitivity are used for the measurement of reflectance or transmittance; if

fluorescence is measured, a suitable filter is required to prevent light used for

excitation from reaching the detector while permitting emitted light or a specific

portion thereof to pass;

对紫外照射有反应的物质

：有光源的光度计，一个可以产生单色光的光学设备和

一个灵敏的光电元件用来测量反射率或透光率。如果测量荧光，额外还需要一个

单色光滤光器，来选择一个特殊的发光光谱区。

Method. Prepare the solution of the substance to be examined (test solution) as

prescribed in the monograph and, if necessary, prepare the reference solutions of the

substance to be determined using the same solvent as in the test solution. Apply the

same volume of each solution to the plate and develop.

方法 按规定制备供试品溶液，如果必要，用同样溶剂制备对照品溶液。点样相

Substances responding to UV-Vis irradiation. Prepare and apply not fewer than 3

reference solutions of the substance to be examined, the concentrations of which span

the expected value in the test solution (about 80 per cent, 100 per cent and 120 per

cent). Treat with the prescribed reagent, if necessary, and record the reflectance, the

transmittance or fluorescence in the chromatograms obtained with the test and

reference solutions. Use the measured results for the calculation of the amount of

substance in the test solution.

对紫外可见光照射反应的物质：制备并点样不少于三个含检测物的对照品溶液，

这些对照品溶液浓度跨越供试品溶液中期望的浓度值（约80，100和120%）。

光量。利用测量结果计算供试品溶液中的物质量。

Substances containing radionuclides. Prepare and apply a test solution containing

about 100 per cent of the expected value. Determine the radioactivity as a function of

the path length and report the radioactivity in each resulting peak as a percentage of

the total amount of radioactivity.

含放射性的物质：制备和点样含约100%期望值的供试品溶液。利用径长函数确

定放射性，报告每个峰的放射性作为放射性总量的百分比。
