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

the column before we could get an absorbance rate of 0.1‚ which means that there was much of our purer LDH sample that we were unable to collect and use. 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

L-Lactate Dehydrogenase By Affinity Chromatography on Cibacron-Blue Sepharose David Alexander 10-15-2014 Dr. Black Chem 4135.001 Abstract: Like the previous experiments‚ the ultimate goal of this lab was to purify the enzyme sample. However‚ this is the last lab for purification and high level techniques of purification were employed to achieve this. Dialysis was used first‚ lowering the small-molecule concentration within the sample. Finally Affinity Chromatography on a Cibacron blue Sepharose stationary

Performance Liquid Chromatography but is also referred to as High Pressure Liquid Chromatography. It is used for separating mixtures either to analyse the mixture or to separate a required product from others in a reaction mixture. It can also be used to find the relative amounts of different components in a mixture. HPLC works along the same lines as paper chromatography. In paper chromatography a liquid (mobile phase) moves past a solid (stationary phase). In paper chromatography the stationary phase

protein capture by Protein A affinity chromatography helps to remove a large majority of the impurities whicn include viruses and media components. At Stage 3‚ prior to cation exchange chromatography‚ the purified material in the eluted stream is then subjected to freezing‚ thawing and pooling. Stage 4 involves the Solvent/Detergent (S/D) viral inactivation which is the first dedicated viral clearance step. At Stage 5‚ the product undergoes cation exchange chromatography which aids in removing the S/D reagents

The spinach extracts were dried using CaCl2. Then‚ the solid pigments were run through a column using a non-polar solvent‚ hexane. The polar absorbent material in the column separated the different pigments by allowing the least polar molecules to travel through the column faster than the more polar molecules. The different pigment
