the slurry to be placed on the glass plates. A guide allows the applicator (with an adjustable layer thickness gauge) to be pulled along the glass plates as the slurry is dispensed. Some practice is needed to get a continuous body motion pulling the applicator across the plates to get an even layer. The glass plates must be the same thickness and extremely clean. Any oil or grease will result in a poor layer. Handle the plates with rubber gloves when washing or rinsing. Care is also needed if the edges

makes it a useful solvent for many chemical processes. The solid was already in powder form therefore we did not have to crush it but it the unknown was in a tablet form‚ one would need to reduce it to a powdery-like form in order to perform this Thin-Layer Chromatography experiment. The powder solution was thoroughly mixed with a glass rod in the test tube containing

Discussion Using the Thin Layer Chromatography experiment‚ caffeine was found to be the most polar due to the fact that it stayed closer to the stationary phase. Caffeine contains four amine groups that are extremely polar as a result of the hydrogen bond and amide functional group. Acetaminophen was found to be the second most polar analgesic drug tested. Acetaminophen contains a polar alcohol group on one side and amide group on the other but also includes non-polar functional groups that consisted

Title: Thin-Layer Chromatography Objectives: Part1: 1. To learn the technique of TLC and the visualization of colourless components. 2. To identify an unknown drug by a TLC comparison with standard compounds. Part 2: To learn the separation technique by using Thin Layer Chromatography plate in separating a mixture of compounds into individual pure compound by using Spinach Leaf. Introduction: (i) General Concepts Chromatography is a common and powerful method used to separate and analyze complex

Experiment #1: Thin-Layer Chromatographic Analysis of Drug Components | Performed on: Wednesday‚ May 8th‚ 2013 | | | 5/15/2013 | | Introduction: The goal of this experiment was to identify an unknown analgesic drug through the use of thin-layer chromatography. The drugs used were‚ Unknown #1‚ caffeine‚ aspirin‚ and acetaminophen. Thin-Layer Chromatography is a technique for identifying substances using a mobile phase (developing solvent) that draws up through a

Column and Thin Layer Chromatography Beverly Abstract: Plant pigments were separated and concentrated from a crude spinach extract through the use of column chromatography and an eluatropic series of hexanes‚ hexane/acetone‚ and methanol. The pigments were analyzed using thin layer chromatography with a 30% ethyl acetate/hexane developing solvent. Introduction: Chromatography is a technique used to separate a mixture of two or more components based on

drug using thin-layer chromatography. The unknown’s behavior in thin-layer chromatography will be compared with that of its possible component analgesics. The possible unknowns and their analgesic ingredients will be Anacin (aspirin‚ caffeine)‚ Excedrin (acetaminophen‚ caffeine‚ aspirin)‚ Motrin (ibuprofen)‚ and Tylenol (acetaminophen). Introduction Thin-layer Chromatography(TLC) was the method used to figure out and identify the drug. TLC is done on a plate that is coated with a layer of absorbent

Thin-Layer Chromatography of Analgesics Abstract: In this experiment thin-layer chromatography (TLC) was used to determine the composition of an unknown mixture of analgesics given five references of AC‚ ASP‚ CAF‚ IBU‚ SAL‚ an unknown consisting of a mixture of three of the references‚ and two unknowns (6‚23) containing a single reference compound. The composition of the unknown mixture and two single unknowns were determined by spotting the reference compounds and the unknown compounds on two
