Chromatography: Separating Mixtures Introduction: Magic marker inks are often mixtures of several compounds. Paper chromatography is a common method of separating various components of a mixture. After separation‚ you can observe the different colors that make up a particular color of magic marker ink. You can also calculate a ratio Rf‚ which compares how far each compound traveled to how far each solvent (substance that dissolves another substance) traveled during the experiment.

Silica gel chromatography: This is known as the stationary phase in column chromatography. Firstly‚ the tapered exit of the column is sealed using porous material. This porous material serves as support for the packing material‚ and prevents it from exiting the pipe. Thereafter‚ silica gel is compacted into the glass pipe to make the separating column. In finishing preparation of the column‚ the solvent which is used as the mobile phase is then passed through the dry column. Then the column is referred

Tittle: Separation of leaves pigment. Introduction The photosynthetic pigment is used to absorb light during the process of photosynthesis. There are five pigments usually found in spinach leaves: Carotene (yellow)‚ Phaeophytin (yellow-grey)‚ Xanthophyll (yellow-brown)‚ Chlorophyll a (blue-green)‚ Chlorophyll b(green). Photosynthetic pigment is located in the chloroplast of the leaf. The function of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b is to trap red and blue violet light when they carry out photosynthesis

Lab #3: Ion Exchange Chromatography Objective The purpose of this experiment was to separate proteins on the basis of their net charge at a particular pH. In cation exchange chromatography positively charged molecules are attracted to a negatively charged column. Conversely‚ in anion exchange chromatography‚ negatively charged molecules are attracted to a positively charged column. Experimental results could be monitored in a predictable way by controlling running pH‚ salt concentration‚ and by

amylose affinity chromatography was performed. The amylose resin present in 20% ethanol was first diluted by adding 10 mL of 20 mM TrisHCl‚ pH 7.4‚ 0.2 M NaCl‚ 1 mM EDTA and centrifuged at 700 rpm for 5 minutes. After decanting the buffer‚ another 10 mL of TrisHCl‚ pH 7.4‚ 0.2 M NaCl‚ 1 mM EDTA was added to this resin solution and centrifuged at 700 rpm for another 5 minutes to further dilute the ethanol concentration in the resin. After the buffer was decanted again‚ the column was packed using
