Chromatographic Paper

Product Code : SCL-CL-11708

Chromatographic Paper (SKU SCL-CL-11708) is laboratory-grade chromatography paper in 110 x 140 mm sheets, used to separate a mixture into its components by paper chromatography. It gives crisp separations of pigments, so the bands are easy to read and compare. Chemistry and biology teachers use it for school, college and teacher-training practicals. Science Lab Supplies ships this consumable from Ambala, India to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors, often alongside other school chemistry lab equipment in India.

Specifications

Each sheet measures 110 x 140 mm (about 4.3 x 5.5 in), a convenient size for a single chromatogram in a beaker or jar. The paper is laboratory grade and intended for separating mixtures, and it gives a clean separation of coloured pigments that students can mark and measure without difficulty.

Applications and Experiments for the Chromatographic Paper

The sheets are used wherever students separate coloured substances by paper chromatography and calculate Rf values. Typical uses include ink and dye separations in secondary science, plant-pigment practicals in senior biology and chemistry, and introductory separation techniques in undergraduate and teacher-training laboratories.

• NCERT Class 9 science: separating the dyes in black ink or marker ink while studying mixtures and their separation.
• CBSE Class 12 chemistry practical: separating pigments from leaf and flower extracts and working out Rf values.
• Class 11 biology practical: separating chloroplast pigments from a leaf extract.

Standard Scope of Supply

The Chromatographic Paper is supplied as cut sheets of 110 x 140 mm as described above; the quantity of sheets is stated on the quotation. Solvents, beakers or developing jars, capillary tubes and the samples to be separated are separate items and are not included.
