Thin layer chromatography (TLC) is a key technique for monitoring reactions, but it can be difficult for students to visualise, especially without access to a lab.
This 3D printed model recreates a TLC plate from the synthesis of aspirin as a tactile lithophane teaching aid. When viewed normally, the plate shows raised features for the baseline, solvent front, and labelled lanes (A, B, C). When light is shone from behind, the chromatogram is revealed, mimicking how real TLC plates are visualised.
The three lanes represent:
A – starting material (2-hydroxybenzoic acid)
B – crude reaction mixture (starting material + aspirin)
C – purified product (aspirin)
This allows students to clearly see how the reaction progresses and how purification removes impurities.
Perfect for:
Teaching reaction monitoring and purity
Demonstrating TLC without chemicals or UV lamps
Outreach and classroom use
Supporting tactile and visual learners
By combining a physical model with a light-activated chromatogram, this design helps make an abstract analytical technique both visible and memorable.
Printed using Bambu PLA Basic (Magenta, Jade White, Cyan, and Yellow), though any light-coloured filament will work for the lithophane effect.
