Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry is used to test hair and urine samples of possible drug abusers or job applicants‚ and it is the best method for the testing of drug use. Gas chromatography and mass spectrometry are two different methods for identifying chemical substances‚ and the two instruments have be coupled together to perform a highly complementary

Separations: Chromatography of M&M and Ink Dyes Almost all substances we come into contact with on a daily basis are impure; that is‚ they are mixtures. Similarly‚ compounds synthesized in the chemical laboratory are rarely produced pure. As a result‚ a major focus of research in chemistry is designing methods of separating and identifying components of mixtures. Many separation methods rely on physical differences between the components of a mixture. For example‚ filtration takes advantage of substances

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

To purify the protein in the cell lysate from lab 1 through nickel affinity chromatography. Protein purification should result in only one type of protein ideally‚ which is the protein of interest‚ wt-DHFR and mut-DHFR in this case. A pure protein allows for further analysis on the protein to be conducted‚ such as its concentration (Bradford assay)‚ its molecular weight‚ and its biological activity. 2.

mobile phase can be liquid‚ gas‚ or supercritical fluid. How Does Chromatography Work? Chromatography is a surface effect. It works by first starting off with an unidentified liquid being injected into a column. As the chemicals in the liquid move down the column‚ they separate depending on their physical and chemical attributes‚ such as speed and weight. To easily picture the process‚ the example will pertain to a paper chromatography process in which the liquid is moving over the paper‚ separating

Expt. 8.1 Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) Analysis of Analgesics Krista Jinks CH 211L Section F 10/27/14 I. Abstract: The objective of this experiment was to analyze analgesic tablets by TLC to determine what analgesics they contain. The analgesics that could be in the tablets included ibuprofen‚ acetaminophen‚ aspirin‚ and caffeine. Through the use of TLC‚ unknown substance #62 was found to be Bayer Aspirin because it only contained aspirin. II. Introduction: 1. Briefly describe
