    CAMAG® TLC Visualizer 3

    High-end imaging and documentation system for white light and UV fluorescence detection

    The visual presentation of the entire chromatogram showing references and samples side by side is a unique feature of High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC), allowing the convenient evaluation of multiple samples in parallel.

    The TLC Visualizer 3 is a high-end imaging and documentation system with superior performance in white light, long-wave UV (366 nm) and short-wave UV (254 nm) ensuring illumination with maximum homogeneity. Designed for the acquisition of premium-quality images, the TLC Visualizer 3 features a high-performance industrial camera of the newest generation equipped with a CMOS image sensor.

    Powered by visionCATS HPTLC software, the TLC Visualizer 3 allows the detection of even the faintest zones and ensures reproducibility at a maximum level, while maintaining cGMP/GLP and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.

    Image comparison

    Powered by visionCATS, the TLC Visualizer 3 allows to extract and export selected sample tracks from acquired images for comparison, enabling the display of references and samples originating from the same and/or different plates and/or detection modes side by side. Traceability of all generated data to the original analysis guarantees regulatory compliance.

    Image enhancement

    visionCATS supports low-noise, high dynamic range (HDR) images and includes a comprehensive set of image enhancement tools. Sophisticated algorithms guarantee the highest image quality for identification of even the faintest zones.

    Image-based evaluation

    The visionCATS software enables the image-based quantitative evaluation of chromatograms obtained with the TLC Visualizer 3. Based on the absorption or fluorescence of the separated zones, the software generates image profiles by calculating the resulting luminance from the detected RGB values for each pixel line of the track. Plotting the luminance as a function of RF values generates the peak profile from image (PPI). Information on peak height and area contained in the PPI data can be used for quantitative assessments. The combination of qualitative and quantitative information from the HPTLC images and the PPI allows testing for identity, purity, and content in a single analysis.

    Profile Comparison

    • Display of individual chromatograms
    • Position of peaks (RF value / migration distance) can be determined
    • Comparison of chromatograms from the same or different plate / image

    Evaluation

    • Intuitive data management
    • Several calibration modes (e.g. single level, multi-level, related substances)
    • Re-evaluation of data at any time
