risk the possibility of death when their blood alcohol content ranges from 0.400% to 0.500%‚ or exceeds 0.500%. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of ethyl alcohol in postmortem specimens are commonly explored with the use of gas chromatography. Gas chromatography can assist in determining the amount of ethyl alcohol present at the time of death. This information could reveal whether a high level of ethyl alcohol contributed to the cause of death.

Organic Chemistry Laboratory I Experiment #6 - Column and Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) of a Spinach Extract Pre-Lab Assignment (1) List 5 ways that TLC can be used in an organic chemistry lab experiment. To identify an unknown‚ to monitor the course of a reaction and assess the purity of its product‚ to determine the best solvent for a column chromatography separation‚ to determine the somposition of each fraction from a column chromatography separation‚ and to determine whether a substance

crystal constituents of the compound. Thin layer chromatography can be used as a physical method to segregate compounds from natural sources. E.g. Spinach leaves are visibly green‚ but consist of a variety of components that have more colour than others. This experimental procedure uses compounds from spinach leaves that are exposed to chromatography‚ TLC plate to indicate the different pigments within the spinach extract. ‘Column chromatography in chemistry is a method used to purify individual

is due to the structure of disperse red 9 being more symmetrical than that of disperse blue 3 and having more nonpolar bonds. Disperse blue 3 is more polar because it has a hydroxide bond and has a larger dipole. The principle behind using column chromatography is that it separates compounds based on polarity. The alumina serves to allow for a purer separation than TLC plates because it has a more polar surface than silica gel does. The less polar dye moves first because it is not as soluble in the

protein was filtered out of the cell and column chromatography was used as a means to isolate the protein by taking advantage of its hydrophobic properties. This was performed by washing the column containing the GFP protein amongst other proteins with buffers varying in salt concentrations. As expected‚ when a buffer of high salt concentration was used (binding buffer) the protein remained in the column. This was evidenced by the green glow of the column coupled with the non-glowing wash remnants

antioxidant. Lycopene is found in various fruits and vegetables. The purpose of this experiment is the isolation of Lycopene from tomato paste. This is done using liquid/solid extraction and chromatography. Once the Lycopene is isolated‚ IR spectroscopy will determine its percentage actually obtained by chromatography. Procedure: A massed sample of 1.012g of tomato paste was placed in a 125mL Erlenmeyer flask. To the flask‚ 5mL of 50:50 hexane-acetone was added into the flask. After the 50:50

injection loop is pulled down to create a high pressure pump that pushes the sample into the mobile phase of the instrument. This mobile phase‚ which for this experiment will consist of water and methanol‚ transports the samples toward the packed column where it will leave the mobile phase and enter the stationary phase. In this stationary phase‚ the sample is fixed in place for the amount of time it takes for the sample to elute back to the mobile phase. This stage identifies and quantifies the

Another thing to note is that our values for the affinity chromatography step were almost the same as the amount for the size exclusion chromatography step. The total activity was 96.50U and the percent yield was 29.76% for the size exclusion. The lack of purity and low recovery of our size exclusion chromatography could be due to the column beads
