Title Identification of Analgesic Compounds Using Thin Layer Chromatography Abstract The objective of laboratory experiment six was to identify an unknown analgesic tablet using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) analysis. The procedure involved preparing TLC plates‚ solubilizing standard analgesics (ibuprofen‚ aspirin‚ acetaminophen‚ caffeine) and the unknown in isopropyl alcohol (IPA)‚ and developing the plates in acetone. Rf values were calculated for each compound. The unknown tablet showed an Rf

goal of this lab was to create and purify DHFR from BL21 ecoli using column chromatography. To know if we isolate DHFR their will be one band at 53 KD or above 50 KD and in our desalted eluate page should have the highestOD₂₈₀ which translates to the highest enzyme activity .Column chromatography is a method used to purify individual chemical compounds from mixtures of compounds. The main advantage of column chromatography is the relatively low-cost and disposability of the stationary phase used in

Different Wavelengths of Light using Chromatography and a Spectrophotometer In this experiment‚ the separation of particular pigments‚ contained within a fresh spinach leaf‚ were examined. Paper chromatography is the process of separating certain molecules‚ or pigment molecules‚ based upon their polarity. Four different pigments were examined from the spinach leaf: chlorophyll a‚ chlorophyll b‚ xanthophyll‚ and carotene. Based upon looking at the pigments individual molecule structures‚ our group

Lab #3 Separating Metal Cations by Paper Chromatography Introduction/Purpose: In chemistry‚ it is important to effectively analyze the components in a given mixture. In order to do so‚ chemists will analyze a mixture either qualitatively or quantitatively using different methods and equipment. Qualitative analyses are subjective‚ and only gather “non-numerical” data such as the color‚ appearance‚ and smell of the components. This data

Simple Distillation‚ Gas Chromatography: Preparation of Synthetic Banana Oil Introduction This experiment gave us the opportunity to work with a variety of new procedures as well as practice procedures that are new to us within the past few weeks of labs. Within the context of the scenario‚ we find that a distilling company that markets a popular banana liqueur is having problems. The banana plantation that they use to create their banana extract was hit hard by a hurricane and their reserves

Chemistry 266 Dominick Armstrong 10/10/2012 Acid-Base Titration Introduction Acid and bases are two important classes of compounds that react to form a salt and water. When mixing acids and bases a precise amount of the base must be added in order to reach the equivalence point. At this point‚ one reactant has been exactly consumed by the addition of the other reactant. When performing chemical reactions chemist use a process called titration to determine the equivalence point of the

Is Higher Education Worth the Price? The question of whether or not higher education is actually “worth it” is an entirely subjective on. To objectively determine if higher education will give a high return on investment‚ one needs to first understand what they are hoping to gain out of the entire experience. Higher education does worth the price because it helps students to build their self-fulfillment‚ provide more monetary opportunities and reach their final goal . In the United States‚ for

The injected sample becomes vaporized and was carried through the mobile column. It is usually carried by an inert gas. The gases were moved through the stationary column. The polarity of the components to the column would cause the separation of the components

must you use lead pencil‚ instead of a pen‚ to mark your chromatography paper? A lead pencil should be used instead of a pen because the ink of the pen would dissolve in the eluting solution and separate. The components of the ink could mix with the other ink/ dyes that would be tested on the same chromatogram. Thus‚ a lead pencil should be used. 2. Why should you avoid touching the surface of the paper to be used for amino-acid chromatography? We should avoid touching the surface of the chromatogram

Drugs screen using Thin Layer Chromatography of basic illicit drugs Abstract The majority of evidence submitted to crime labs comes from drug-related crimes. Often‚ this evidence includes unidentified powders that may be illegal drugs. In order to prosecute individuals for possession of illegal substances‚ it is necessary for forensic scientists to positively identify any suspected drugs submitted to the laboratory. In addition‚ forensic toxicologists must determine the identity
