As part of the School Outreach and Promotion Programmes, SCL(LS) organised a Medicinal Chemistry workshop entitled “DrugTrail@NYP” on 21 Oct 09. The aim of this workshop is to showcase the application of thin layer chromatography, an important analytical method in pharmaceutical sciences. A total of 25 students and 3 teachers from 5 secondary schools took part in this workshop. The participants learnt about the concepts and techniques of TLC. They also acquired the hands-on experience of applying TLC to identify the active ingredients in common pain killers such as Panadol, Panadol Extra, Aspirin and Nurofen.
