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. Pupils spot ink from coloured pens on filter paper, hang the strip in a beaker of solvent and watch the hidden colours separate. It suits middle-school science and Class 9–11 chemistry practicals. Science Lab Supplies sends the kit from Ambala, India to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.

Specifications

The set holds everything needed for a simple paper chromatography run: a clear beaker for the solvent, filter paper sheets as the stationary phase, wooden dowels and clips to suspend the paper, coloured pens as samples and a pencil for marking 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. Teachers use it 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.
• Class 11 chemistry: purification and separation methods, including paper chromatography.
• 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. No solvent is listed in the kit; plain water works for many marker inks, and the teacher chooses any other solvent.

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. To start an order, write through the contact page, collect items in the enquiry cart, or check the lab tender page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Chromatography Set demonstrate?
It shows that one marker ink is often 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. Only the solvent, usually water for marker inks, has to be added in the lab.

Who supplies this chromatography kit?
The kit comes from Science Lab Supplies, a supplier working out of Ambala, India. It can be quoted alone or 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.
