Desmodium viridiflorum (TLC spot @ DMT Rf)

Migrated topic.
Hey!

WOuld you mind sharing which species you have extracted before and what where the results, even if negative?

I highly suggest you get some ehrlich reagent at least since it will tell you if there are indole-based substances, gives a great idea on what the content might be, specially togehter with TLC.

When you say you're not ending with anything recoverable, not even a goo? Sometimes goo is misleadingly heavy, seems like little but its plenty.. Also maybe 10g plant material might just not be enough for a decent yield.

Either way thanks a lot for sharing the info and making this research!
 
Excellent work, friend! The ehrlich+tlc result is definitely encouraging!

A little personal side note:
Over a decade ago on the eDot forums, a handful of us non-chemists were hungry for a “field test” for untested plant alkaloids. And this is why: Easy TLC and Reagent tests have indicated a new species of interest that grows wild well outside of the tropics. And I think that’s pretty cool.

That is exactly why I started working on the TLC kits in the first place, because I also thought about how much it would have been useful in my past, and when I came across the technique, I visualized just how much it could perfectly serve people like you and I. It's really a dream come true for me that we were able to make this idea a reality and that people like you are now testing novel plants and helping spread the knowledge! Thank you!
