Chromatographic Paper Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Chromatographic Paper (Product Code: SCI-571/149) is an absorbent chromatography paper used to separate and identify the coloured components of mixtures such as inks, food dyes and plant pigments in school and college laboratories. Each sheet measures 110 × 140 mm, a convenient size for a single chromatogram in a jar or beaker, and it suits any paper chromatography kit for school practicals. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Chromatographic Paper Used For?

Draw a pencil baseline near one short edge, spot the sample on it, and stand the sheet in a little solvent below the line; as the solvent climbs, each dye travels a different distance. Students then measure the solvent front and each spot to calculate R_f values and compare them with known substances.

Typical practicals include separating black felt-pen ink, checking food colourings, separating chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments from leaf extracts with a suitable solvent, and simple forensic comparisons of pens. Handle the sheet by its edges, mark it only in pencil, and cover the jar so solvent vapour saturates the air for an even run.

What solvents can be used with Chromatographic Paper?
Water suits water-soluble inks and food dyes on Chromatographic Paper, while plant pigments need an organic solvent mixture, such as one based on propanone or alcohol, used in a fume cupboard. Follow your practical manual and run a known sample first.
