Chromatography kit
Chromatography kit (Product Code: SCI-226/035) is a set of apparatus and chemicals used to introduce students to thin layer chromatography in school and college chemistry and biology laboratories. It brings four covered borosilicate glass jars, silica gel TLC plates, two spray guns, indicators, inks, an amino acid set, ninhydrin and a theory-and-practice booklet together, so one purchase equips a complete chromatography kit for school practicals. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is the Chromatography Kit Used For?
The kit supports the standard TLC practical: spot a mixture on a pencil baseline, stand the plate in a covered jar with a shallow layer of solvent below the spots, let the solvent front climb, then mark the front and calculate Rf values. Classes usually begin with the four coloured inks, compare the four indicators next, and finish with the amino acids, which are colourless until the plate is sprayed with ninhydrin from the spray guns and gently warmed.
Keep each jar covered so the air inside saturates with solvent vapour, and make sure the spots sit above the solvent level. Spray ninhydrin in a fume cupboard or well-ventilated area while wearing gloves, as it stains skin. Because the booklet also explains paper chromatography, adding chromatography paper turns the same jars into a paper chromatography kit for school lessons.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Number of kits: each kit has four jars, so count the working groups per class.
- Extra TLC plates or chromatography paper for repeat runs.
- Your developing solvent, as no solvent is listed among the kit contents.
- Refills of ninhydrin, indicators or amino acids for later terms.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, supplies the Chromatography kit to schools, colleges, teacher-training institutes and laboratory dealers in India and international markets. Because the kit combines glassware with chemicals, one enquiry can also cover spare plates, extra jars and refill reagents for the same practical. Company background is on the ScienceLab profile page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Chromatography kit?
The Chromatography kit includes four covered borosilicate glass jars, ready-to-use silica gel TLC plates, two laboratory spray guns, a pack of 10 glass dropping pipettes, four indicators, four inks, a 13-item amino acid set, ninhydrin (5 x 100 ml) and a booklet on paper and thin layer chromatography.
What size are the jars in the Chromatography kit?
Each of the four jars in the Chromatography kit is made of borosilicate glass with a cover and measures 200 mm high by 100 mm wide. The cover keeps solvent vapour inside the jar while a TLC plate or paper strip develops.
Which amino acids come with the Chromatography kit?
The Chromatography kit amino acid set holds L-alanine, L-asparagine, L-cystine, L-glutamic acid, glycine, L-leucine, DL-phenylalanine, L-proline, L-serine, L-threonine, L-tryptophan, L-tyrosine and L-valine. Students separate them on TLC plates and reveal the spots with the kit's ninhydrin.
What is the shelf life of the chemicals in the Chromatography kit?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Keep the Chromatography kit's indicators, inks, amino acids and ninhydrin tightly closed and stored cool between practicals.
Is a developing solvent supplied with the Chromatography kit?
No developing solvent is listed in the Chromatography kit contents. Tell us which mobile phase your practical uses when you enquire, and we will advise whether a suitable solvent can be quoted alongside the kit.
Who supplies the Chromatography kit?
The Chromatography kit is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) of Ambala, Haryana, India, to schools, colleges and dealers in India and international markets, either as single kits or as class sets.
What does a quotation for the Chromatography kit need?
