I'm intrigued to try and pin down the somewhat variable results I'm seeing ( always good, sometimes literally stunningly good ) and have got hold of a pro test TLC kit, intending to investigate what ratios of cannabinoids I'm getting.

However the supplier of the kit was unable to send me the eluent (chloroform) as it's a controlled substance where I live.

So I'm here to ask TLC gurus, that might hang around here, whether there is an alternative eluent I could use that might be more readily available. I understand that the gauges and rulers supplied with the kit would probably be fairly useless, but I'm only after comparative results between my occasional zeolite bakings anyway.

Any ideas? I can get hold of normal household solvents such as isopropyl alcohol, ethanol, plus other lab and industrial solvents that aren't associated so much with abuse.

Thanks!  Frac4
