1 Introduction
The CAMAG Derivatizer is an automated spraying device which sets a new standard of
reproducibility in the reagent transfer onto TLC plates by employing a unique "micro
droplet" spraying technology. The CAMAG Derivatizer ensures homogeneous and
reproducible application of all common reagents. Moreover, the CAMAG Derivatizer
offers further advantages compared to manual spraying:
• Environmentally friendly and safe handling through a closed system
• Intuitive handling and easy cleaning
• Low reagent consumption through efficient operation (4 mL for 20 x 20 cm plates
and 2 – 3 mL for 20 x 10 cm plates)
• Reproducible and user-independent results
