Chromatographic Jar
Chromatographic Jar (Product Code: SCL11005/06) is a transparent, rectangular polycarbonate tank used to hold the solvent and the paper or plate while a chromatogram develops in school and college practicals. Teachers use it to separate leaf pigments, ink dyes and amino acids, and its clear walls let students watch the bands form without lifting the strip out. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, as the centrepiece of a paper chromatography kit for schools.

What Is the Chromatographic Jar Used For?
A shallow layer of solvent is poured into the jar, the jar is covered so the air inside becomes saturated with vapour, and a spotted strip or plate is lowered in with its origin line above the liquid. As the solvent climbs, the components of the sample separate into bands that the class can follow through the transparent walls. The rectangular shape leaves room for a wide sheet or several strips side by side, so a leaf extract can be run next to reference spots in one go.
For sharper results, line one wall with filter paper wetted with the solvent before the run, keep the jar still during development and mark the solvent front as soon as the chromatogram comes out. Schools running paper chromatography practicals often keep one jar per group so each team develops its own sample.
OEM Manufacturer
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this chromatographic jar. The company makes it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplies it factory-direct to schools, colleges, laboratories, dealers and importers in India and international markets, so quotations and repeat orders come straight from the manufacturer rather than through a trader.

- Chromatography Plates, TLC — for thin-layer runs when faster separations are wanted.
- Whatman's Filter Paper No 1 — for lining the jar wall to saturate the air with solvent vapour.
- Chromatography Kit — a ready set for groups that need the full activity in one order.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Chromatographic Jar made of?
The Chromatographic Jar is made of transparent polycarbonate, so students can follow the separation without lifting the chromatogram out. As a plastic tank it is also less likely to shatter than a glass jar if it is knocked over on a crowded bench.
Which solvents can be used in the Chromatographic Jar?
Water-based and many alcohol-based mobile phases used in school practicals are commonly run in a polycarbonate Chromatographic Jar. Some organic solvents, such as chloroform and acetone, can attack polycarbonate, so check your solvent system with us through the contact page first.
Does the Chromatographic Jar come with a lid?
A lid is not stated in the product details of the Chromatographic Jar. Please confirm the lid and internal dimensions with ScienceLab before ordering; in the meantime a flat glass plate laid over the mouth also keeps the solvent vapour in during a run.
What size of paper or plate fits the Chromatographic Jar?
The dimensions of the Chromatographic Jar are not given in its product data. Send the size of your strips or plates through the contact page and ScienceLab will confirm the fit before you place the order.
Who manufactures the Chromatographic Jar?
The Chromatographic Jar (SCL11005/06) is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Buyers deal with the manufacturer directly for quotations, repeat orders and replacement jars.
How should the Chromatographic Jar be cleaned?
Empty the solvent from the Chromatographic Jar, rinse it with water and a mild detergent and dry it with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads, which scratch the transparent polycarbonate and make the developing bands harder to see.
Can schools order the Chromatographic Jar in class quantities?
Yes. The Chromatographic Jar can be quoted in class quantities for schools and colleges in India and international markets; include the number of jars, any papers or plates needed and your delivery location in the enquiry.
