How can a thin-layer chromatography (TLC) photograph become quantitative scientific data? In this tutorial, we use GX-TXT Curve Digitalizer to calibrate a real TLC plate, digitize five annotated spots, and identify the baseline and solvent front. A reusable Python script calculates retention factors (Rf), publishes the results as a scientific Dataset, and enables interactive plotting and analysis.
