Paper chromatography is a useful technique for separating and identifying pigments and other molecules from cell extracts that contain a complex mixture of molecules. The solvent moves up the paper by capillary action‚ which occurs as a result of the attraction of solvent molecules to the paper and the attraction of solvent molecules to one another. As the solvent moves up the paper‚ it carries along any substances dissolved in it. The pigments are carried along at different rates because they

Separating Substances: Identifying Food Dyes with TLC Background The color of food is an integral part of our culture and enjoyment of life. Who would deny the mouth-watering appeal of a deep-pink strawberry ice cream on a hot summer’s day or a golden Thanksgiving turkey garnished with fresh green parsley? Even early civilizations such as the Romans recognized that people "eat with their eyes" as well as their palates. Saffron and other spices were often used to provide a rich yellow color

Experiment 10 Thin Layer Chromatography Purpose! To identify how many components are in a mixture and the identity of a compound in a mixture by comparing the Rf of a known compound with the Rf of an unknown compound. Intodection. In this experiment the thin-layer chromatography the (TLC) will be used to determine the composition of various over-the-counter analgesic. We will be given two commercially prepared TLC plates with a flexible backing and a silica-gel coating with a fluorescent

The objective of the present work was to formulate‚ characterize and optimize the preparations of hybrid nanoparticles containing dapsone which is finally converted into gel for topical drug delivery. The formulations were characterized for particle size‚ zeta potential and entrapment efficiency and were optimized by applying factorial design of experiment (23). The results showed that the optimal formulation (HN 4) of dapsone loaded hybrid nanoparticles had average particle size of 277nm‚ zeta potential

A simple‚ specific‚ accurate and rapid reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the simultaneous estimation of cilnidipine and chlorthalidone‚ using a Hiber® C18 (25cm x 4.6 mm)‚ Lichrospher® 100‚ RP-18 e (5µm) column and a mobile phase composed of phosphate buffer(pH 4.0 adjusted with orthophosphoric acid) : Acetonitrile (30:70‚ v/v). The retention times of Cilnidipine and Chlorthalidone were found to be 3.967 min and 6.427 min‚ respectively. Linearity was

Introduction: This experiment involves an extraction of a natural product using the techniques of steam distillation. The principle component of oil of cloves is an aromatic compound‚ which is identified by thin layer chromatography (TLC). Eugenol is widely used in dentistry‚ due to its analgesic‚ antiseptic balsamic qualities. It is ideal for curative for pulp hyperemia (the soft‚ sensitive substance underneath the enamel and dentine of a tooth) and pulp its. In dentistry eugenol is also used to

Chemistry Lab Write-Up Title: Paper Chromatography of Powdered Beverage Mix Purpose/Objective: The purpose is to be able to use liquid chromatography to separate dyes in a powdered beverage mix‚ calculate the Rf values for each dye‚ and rank the polarity of each dye present. Hypothesis: If we are to use the liquid chromatography to investigate the different dyes‚ then I think the different dyes will come up having different polarities and Rf values. Procedure/Method: Draw a line across

5.05 Mixtures and solutions Lab report Ink Chromatography Chromatography is also used to compare and describe chemical substances. The chromatographic sequence of sorbed substances is related to their atomic and molecular structures. A change in a chemical substance produced by a chemical or biological reaction often alters the solubility and migration rate. With this knowledge‚ alterations or changes can be detected in the substance. Chromatography serves mainly as a tool for the examination and
