That moment when you're so sleep-deprived in the lab that cutting a TLC plate in half looks like splitting atoms! The thin-layer chromatography gods are crying right now. Somewhere, a chemistry professor just felt a disturbance in the force. For the uninitiated, TLC plates are delicate silica-coated glass used to separate chemical compounds—not DIY scissors practice. The straight line you're supposed to draw at the bottom? That's for sample application, not a "cut here" instruction. Next week: using your NMR tubes as drinking straws!
