Chloroform (Chromatography)
Chloroform (Chromatography) (Product Code: SCL375/092) is an analytical reagent grade organic solvent used as, or blended into, the mobile phase that separates plant pigments and other compounds in school and college chromatography practicals. It comes in a 500 ml pack with its MSDS, a practical refill for any paper chromatography kit school laboratories run. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is Chloroform (Chromatography) Used For?
The best-known biology practical separates the pigments of a green leaf. A concentrated leaf extract is spotted near the base of a paper strip, the strip is hung in a closed jar over a shallow layer of solvent, and as the solvent rises the pigments travel different distances, leaving separate bands of carotenes, xanthophylls and chlorophylls. Chloroform-based solvent systems are also used in thin-layer chromatography of lipids and other non-polar compounds.
Chloroform vapour is harmful, so dispense it in a fume cupboard or a well-ventilated room and keep the jar lid on throughout the run, which also keeps the chamber saturated for sharper bands. Let teachers rather than students handle the stock bottle, store it tightly closed away from light and heat, and follow the MSDS for spills and waste. It sits comfortably on the reagent shelf of school chemistry lab equipment in India as well as in the biology room.
Supplier
ScienceLab is the brand name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, an Ambala, Haryana company that sources and supplies chromatography solvents together with jars, papers and general apparatus for teaching laboratories.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Chloroform (Chromatography) used for?
Chloroform (Chromatography) is used as, or as part of, the mobile phase in paper and thin-layer chromatography. As the solvent rises through the paper or plate it carries compounds such as leaf pigments at different rates, separating them into distinct bands.
How much solvent does one pack of Chloroform (Chromatography) contain?
One pack of Chloroform (Chromatography) contains 500 ml of analytical reagent grade chloroform, supplied with its MSDS. Each chromatography jar needs only a shallow layer of solvent, so plan your order by the number of student groups and practical sessions.
Can students handle Chloroform (Chromatography) directly?
No, the stock bottle of Chloroform (Chromatography) is best handled by a teacher or lab assistant in a fume cupboard or well-ventilated room. Students can then run their chromatograms in closed jars under supervision, following the precautions in the MSDS.
How long does Chloroform (Chromatography) keep?
The shelf life of Chloroform (Chromatography) depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is quoted here; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Store the bottle tightly closed, cool and away from light.
Who supplies Chloroform (Chromatography)?
Chloroform (Chromatography) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources the solvent and offers it with chromatography jars, papers and glassware, so a department can order a complete practical together.
Can Chloroform (Chromatography) be shipped outside India?
Export of Chloroform (Chromatography) depends on the destination, because solvents are subject to transport regulations. Please contact us with your country and quantity, and we will advise on the shipping options available for your order.
What should a quotation request for Chloroform (Chromatography) include?
A quotation request for Chloroform (Chromatography) should give the product code SCL375/092, the number of 500 ml bottles, the delivery address and any purchase documents your institution needs, plus any jars or papers you want quoted at the same time.
