I made alkaloid extract in chloroform and want to run TLC to detect probable number of compounds in same by staining it with Munier Reagent (to visible alkaloids). However I used 5 of the mobile phase to get proper resolution but couldn't. Anyway how to get clear bands on TLC? What kind of mobile phase should I make to get rid of trailing?

Also please suggest the mobile phase for Column Chromatography, if the extract is in the same solvent (chloroform).
