Chromatography Set
Product Code : SCL-CL-11926
Chromatography Set (SKU SCL-CL-11926) is an educational kit for separating and identifying the individual pigments in a mixture by paper chromatography. Ink from the coloured pens is spotted on filter paper, the strip is hung in a beaker of solvent, and the hidden colours separate as the solvent rises. It suits middle-school science and Class 9–11 chemistry practicals. Schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors can order the kit through Science Lab Supplies, which dispatches it from Ambala, India.
Specifications
Each component of this paper chromatography kit has its own row in the table below. In short, the set pairs a clear beaker for the solvent with filter paper sheets as the stationary phase, wooden dowels and clips to suspend the paper, coloured pens as samples and a pencil for the start line.

Applications and Experiments for the Chromatography Set
The kit teaches pigment separation, a basic chromatography technique, by revealing the different colours mixed into one marker ink. It can be used for the separation-of-mixtures topic in school science and as a first practical before thin-layer or column methods, making it useful school chemistry lab equipment in India.
- NCERT Class 9 science: separating the coloured components of ink or dye by chromatography, with solvent added drop by drop from Calibrated Plastic Droppers.
- Class 11 chemistry: purification and separation methods, comparing paper chromatography with the separation of immiscible liquids in a Separating Funnel (Separator).
- Science clubs: comparing inks from different pens and explaining why some colours travel further.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each Chromatography Set contains a clear beaker, filter paper sheets, wooden dowels and wooden clips for hanging the paper, a set of coloured pens and a pencil. Plain water works as the solvent for many marker inks, and the teacher can choose any other solvent suited to the samples being tested.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations can cover a single kit for a demonstration or enough sets for every group in a class. Each one lists the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity you name, and extra chromatography paper, beakers or other chemistry lab equipment in India can go on the same quotation.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code as a registered exporter and can ship to buyers in Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Kits for a whole class can be priced once you post the group count on the contact page, drop the set into the enquiry cart, or file a bid through the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Chromatography Set demonstrate?
It shows that one marker ink can be a mixture of several pigments. As the solvent climbs the filter paper, each pigment travels a different distance, so the separate colours appear as bands on the strip.
What is included in the kit?
A clear beaker, filter paper sheets, wooden dowels, wooden clips, coloured pens and a pencil. Water can serve as the solvent for marker inks, and refill chromatographic paper can be added to the quotation for repeat runs.
Who supplies the Chromatography Set?
Quotations and dispatch for this kit are handled by Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India. It can be priced on its own or together with glassware, papers and other chemistry items for a school laboratory order.
Can several kits be quoted for a whole class?
Yes. Tell us how many groups you teach and the delivery location, and the quotation will state the price, packing and delivery time for that number of sets.
