Paper chromatography is an important separation technique that depends upon differences in how strongly the dyes are adsorbed onto the paper (stationary phase) and how soluble the dyes are in the developing solvent (mobile phase). In paper chromatography‚ a small amount of the mixture to be separated is placed close to the edge of a piece of paper. The edge of the paper is then immersed in a developing solution. As the developing solution ascends up the paper by capillary action‚ the. components

Determining Red 40 Concentrations Using Absorption with Beer’s Law Introduction I like color and enjoyed learning about wavelengths and the spectrum of light‚ so I considered incorporating something related to that into my Internal Assessment. We also had just used concentrations in our Group 4 Project‚ so when I found an experiment that dealt with both of these I thought it was a great idea. This experiment is not completely original; the basic concept has been used multiple times. It uses Beer’s

Biology Lab report #1 The uptake of neutral red dye in a yeast cell using different solutions Abstract Every cell transports materials in and out throught something called a membrane. There are many different methods of transport in the cell Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Serrano‚ 1977) We want to know does adding higher concentrations of azide more effectively block dye transport? We tested the transport of dye in yeast cells with a metabolic inhibitor. When we did this we showed no difference

Separation of Amino Acids by Cation Exchange Chromatography Introduction and Purpose: Amino acids are small biomolecules that have a carboxylic acid backbone in common‚ as well as an amino group attached to a saturated carbon. There are many amino acids‚ but there are 20 most commonly know amino acids. Amino acids are the fundamenta building blocks of other biomolecules like proteins and ezymes (Davidson‚ 2015). This experiment examined a mixture of 3 amino acids. The purpose of this experiment

Task 3: How could Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) have been used to prepare a pure sample of aspirin? The method of using thin layer chromatography is easy‚ quick and relatively cheap to carry out this makes it ideal for preparing pure samples of aspirin. Equipment Required: • Thin Layer Chromatography Paper • Ruler • Pencil • Solvent • Beaker • Micro Capillary • Access to a fume cupboard • UV light • Clingfilm • Individuals sample of aspirin • Pure sample of aspirin • Sample of salicylic acid Method:

Versus Red Light Absorption in Spinach Leaves The goal of the experiment was to determine if green light had less ability to absorb than red light in spinach leaves. This was done by separating the photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a‚ chlorophyll b‚ carotene and xanthophylls) from one another using paper chromatography. The separated pigments were then analyzed for their absorption spectrum using a spectrographometer. When the data was graphed it clearly showed the higher rate of red light

General Biology (BI131 01) The Cell Structure and function Abstract In this lab the structures of various cells were viewed through a compound microscope. The bacteria in yogurt was viewed a long with a slice of potato‚ and a thin skin of red onion. The potato was dyed with iodine while the red onion was dyed with methane blue. The students had to assemble the first three slides. Two more slides were provided these are the yeast and protozoa cells

Chromatography of Photosynthetic Pigments Abstract In this experiment a process of chromatography was used to separate chlorophyll a‚ chlorophyll b‚ xanthophyll‚ and beta carotene. When these pigments were obtained they were used to measure the wavelengths by way of spectrophotometer of each and the total of all the pigments wavelength.
