A chemist was able to extract a biologically active compound and wants to purify the sample since he is sure that the sample still contains impurities. After running the extract in TLC, the chemist found out that the sample produced only one spot near the solvent front. Suggest how the chemist can achieve a better resolution for the chromatogram.
