Chromatography lab Purpose: To separate food colorings into their component dyes using paper chromatography. Materials: Chromatography paper‚ Food coloring‚ Ruler‚ Pencil‚ Solvent solution‚ Test tubes‚ Test tube rack. Safety precaution: wear aprons‚ to make sure that you don’t get any of the alcohol on your clothes‚ and if you break a test tube you don’t get glass on you. Procedure: See-attached handout. Results: See chromatography with Audrey’s lab report.

Problem How can you tell pigment separation by using Chromatography? Objective To prepare a chromatogram‚ separate pigments in a leaf and interpret the chromatogram. Hypothesis If I am to put a chromatography paper into a solvent‚ then it would separate the pigments depending on their Rf value. I think the pigments will separate in this order: Chlorophyll A‚ Chlorophyll B‚ Carotene‚ and Xanthophyll. Introduction Chlorophyll is the molecule that absorbs sunlight and uses its energy

The purpose of this lab was to understand that because substances have different properties‚ such as mass‚ that can be separated by chromatography. In our experiment‚ we chose 4 different color source to separate in water. We made sure that all the sources were water soluble because only polar substances will dissolve in water. We chose a black wet-erase marker‚ a red marker‚ a green marker‚ and mixed food coloring to test. The chromatography paper was split into 4 sections‚ about 2 cm above the

In this Laboratory experiment‚ my lab partner Alexander and I were able to understand thoroughly the physical and chemical properties of salt (NaCl) and sand (SiO2). Followed by the right procedure we were able to design and test out the components of both NaCl and SiO2 in order to separate the unknown mixture that we were able to find out about. We were also given the task to provide the percent composition of the mixtures. Therefore‚ the separation of components among this experiment allowed us

Affinity chromatography technique is used to separate proteins found in a mixture of solution. Affinity chromatography uses the strong interaction between a given protein and its corresponding molecule. In today’s lab‚ affinity chromatography was used to purify L-lactate dehydrogenase‚ which contains histidine-tagged protein. The histidine- tagged protein forms a strong interaction with the Ni-NTA column due to the presence of nickel ions. Varying concentration of imidazole was added to the column

Purification of Recombinant Green Fluorescent Protein (rGFP) From E. coli strain‚ BL21(DE3)‚ Using Ni2+-Agarose Affinity Chromatography Abstract: The purpose of these series of experiments was to express and purify recombinant Green Fluorescent Protein (rGFP) from the E. coli strain‚ BL21(DE3) by beginning with its purification via a Ni2+-agarose affinity chromatography column. The His6 tag of the rGFP bound to the Ni2+-agarose column and washes and elutions were obtained‚ with elution 3 containing

Post Lab #4- Column Chromatography Organic Chem 3418-2 March 3‚ 2011 Theoretical Background- The fluorene and fluorenone mixture was separated by first dissolving the mixture in heptane. Since “like dissolves like”‚ fluorene dissolves with the non-polar heptane and the polar fluorenone dissolves in the polar ethyl acetate solvent. This phenomenon was illustrated in class before the experiment‚ when it was pointed out why water will not dissolve fluorene‚ fluorenone‚ or transstilbene

Encyclopædia Britannica Paper chromatography is used to separate "dissolved chemical substances". An example of dissolved chemical substances could be the pigments that make up a specific color‚ for example in a marker. When a chromatography paper experiment is done on a black marker‚ the experiment tends to separate all the different pigments that make up the color. In this experiment‚ the substance investigated was a black water soluble Giotto marker pen. Paper chromatography has two phases‚ the

Gas Chromatography Analysis of Product Mixtures Gas Chromatography Guidelines‚ Handout. Introduction Gas chromatography is a technique used to analyze chemical compounds that can be vaporized and separated in a gas phase column. Once separated‚ the analyzed substance is passed through a detector and data is obtained. The samples that we are going to analyze are: the EtOAc from Simple distillation‚ the Fraction 1‚ Fraction 2‚ and Fraction 3 from the Fractional Distillation. Experimental Procedure

The purpose of column chromatography is to separate one compound from another by the differing polarities in the compound. This technique is important in organic chemistry because certain experiments may require the separation of compounds in solution to be used for chemical synthesis and/or analysis of a particular desired product by isolating it. Fluorene is to be separated from 9-fluorenone using the technique of column chromatography. The success of separation and purity is determined with analyzation
