What is the problem of spotting TOO much sample on a TLC plate initially? Also, why is it bad to have too much solvent in the TLC jar?
Answered by DrBob222
Too much sample leads to poor separation of the bands.
Too much solvent means the solvent may touch the spot thus contaminating the solvent and "feeding the TLC plate with more of the spotted stuff" continuously.
