Chromatography Paper Sheets 100mm x 300mm

Product Code : EL-CA-11573

The Chromatography Paper Sheets 100mm x 300mm are Grade 1 laboratory paper sheets used to separate colours, dyes, and soluble mixture components during supervised paper chromatography experiments. They are suitable for school chemistry labs, college laboratories, STEM activities, teachers, distributors, and institutional procurement teams.

Product Description

Chromatography Paper Sheets 100mm x 300mm from School Equipments India are listed with product code EL-CA-11573. The confirmed description identifies them as Grade 1 Chromatography Paper Sheets. The listed sheet size is 100mm x 300mm.

These sheets support introductory paper chromatography practicals where colours from sweets or water-based felt-tip pens are separated into their individual dyes as water is absorbed by the chromatography paper. They are useful for teaching stationary phase, mobile phase, capillary action, solvent front movement, component separation, and basic comparison of dye mixtures.

Key Features

• 100mm x 300mm sheet size: suitable for classroom paper chromatography strips and demonstrations.
• Grade 1 paper: confirmed grade for routine school-level chromatography activities.
• Dye separation support: separates colours from sweets or water-based felt-tip pens when water is absorbed.
• Hands-on chemistry use: helps students observe separation rather than only reading theory.
• Easy to cut: sheets can be cut into strips for individual or group experiments [confirm cutting guidance].
• Teaching-lab relevance: useful for chemistry, STEM, analytical methods, and mixture-separation topics.
• Specifications to confirm: pack size, paper thickness, flow rate, retention characteristics, and storage life must be verified.

How to Use the Chromatography Paper Sheets 100mm x 300mm

1. Cut the chromatography paper sheet into strips of the required width.
2. Draw a light pencil baseline near one end of the strip.
3. Place a small spot of dye, ink, or approved sample on the baseline.
4. Add a shallow layer of water or approved solvent to the chromatography chamber.
5. Place the paper so the lower end touches the solvent while the sample spot stays above the liquid level.
6. Allow the solvent to move upward through the paper by capillary action.
7. Remove the paper before the solvent reaches the top edge.
8. Mark the solvent front, dry the sheet safely, and compare the separated colours.

Safety note: Use only under teacher or laboratory-supervisor control. Do not taste sweets or samples after laboratory use, inhale solvent vapours, use open flames near solvents, or handle unknown dyes without an approved classroom risk assessment.

Care & Maintenance

• Store sheets flat, dry, and protected from dust, moisture, and solvent vapours.
• Keep unused paper in closed packaging until required for experiments.
• Handle sheets with clean, dry hands or forceps to reduce contamination.
• Discard wet, stained, torn, contaminated, or creased sheets before use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Chromatography Paper Sheets used for?

Chromatography Paper Sheets are used for paper chromatography experiments that separate dyes, colours, and soluble mixture components as the solvent moves through the paper.

What is the product code for this chromatography paper?

The listed product code for Chromatography Paper Sheets 100mm x 300mm is EL-CA-11573.

What is the size of each sheet?

The confirmed sheet size is 100mm x 300mm.

What grade is this chromatography paper?

The listed product description identifies the sheets as Grade 1 Chromatography Paper Sheets.

Can it separate colours from felt-tip pens?

Yes. The product listing states that colours from water-based felt-tip pens can be split into their separate dyes when the chromatography paper absorbs water.

Can it be used for sweets or food-colour experiments?

Yes. The listing states that colours from sweets can be separated into their separate dyes. Only classroom-approved samples and procedures should be used.
