Principles of Thin Layer Chromatography Kit
Product Code : EL-CA-11583
The Principles of Thin Layer Chromatography Kit is a school chemistry teaching kit used to introduce chromatographic theory and thin-layer chromatography methods through dye separation. It is suitable for schools, colleges, chemistry laboratories, STEM labs, teachers, distributors, and institutional procurement teams.
Product Description
Principles of Thin Layer Chromatography Kit from School Equipments India is listed with product code EL-CA-11583. The confirmed description states that a mixture of dyes is separated on a cellulose-based TLC plate using two different solvent systems.
The kit introduces students to the principles of TLC, including stationary phase, mobile phase, spotting, solvent movement, separation behaviour, and comparison of dye components. The listed group size is 8 separations, and storage is at room temperature. The listed time required is spotting plates for 20 minutes and “column separation” for 40 minutes; verify this wording before publishing.
Key Features
- 8 separations: confirmed group size for classroom practical planning.
- Cellulose-based TLC plate: supplied as the stationary phase support for the experiment.
- Two solvent systems: supports comparison of dye movement under different mobile phase conditions.
- Samples included: supplied for the dye-separation activity.
- Reagents and solvents included: confirmed in the listed kit contents.
- 5 µl glass capillary pipettes: used for small-volume spotting on the TLC plate.
- Full instructions included: supports teacher-led classroom delivery.
