I work with carbazole and it alkyl derivatives, what reagent can I use to spray the tlc plate

[hypervalent_iodine]

UV doesn't show you your carbazole spots?

[eddy raylord]

there are other faint spot that are present in the plate that is why I need a spraying reagent, please help!

Okay, so what have you tried? If you're not sure what you're trying to see and you can already visualize the carbazole with UV, I would start with the standard ones (or what I consider to be the standard ones), such as Goofy dip, KMnO₄, vanillin, charring with H₂SO₄ or an iodine chamber. If those don't work, you could look into something more exotic, although if it were me (and since you can see your other spot) I wouldn't waste my time and the group's materials with that.
