Choose this box when you already have jars, tanks or a chromatography cabinet and need a stock of full-size sheets to cut to your own strip size. The portable kit suits a college lab that wants a closed cabinet with its own small sheets, and the chromatography set suits a first classroom demonstration with marker inks.
What Is Chromatography Paper Used For?
In paper chromatography a small spot of the mixture is placed on a pencil line near the bottom of a paper strip, and the strip is hung in a closed jar with the solvent below the spot. As the solvent rises through the paper, each component travels at its own rate, so a single spot separates into a row of coloured bands. Typical school and college practicals include separating the dyes in black ink or sketch-pen colours, checking food colours, and the class 11 chemistry experiment of separating pigments from leaf and flower extracts and finding their Rf values. Rf is the distance moved by a component divided by the distance moved by the solvent front, both measured from the start line.
A 250 x 250 mm sheet can be cut into several strips to fit the jars or tanks in your chemistry lab equipment. Draw the start line in pencil, because graphite does not dissolve or move with the solvent, apply small spots with a fine capillary, cover the jar so the air inside stays saturated with solvent vapour, and mark the solvent front as soon as the strip is removed. Handle the paper by its edges, since skin oils leave marks that disturb the flow, and keep the box closed, flat and dry, away from laboratory fumes.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Number of boxes — each box holds 100 sheets of 250 x 250 mm; the minimum order is 10 units.
- Paper grade — if your syllabus or test method names a particular grade or thickness, state it so JLab can confirm what is supplied.
- Spotting and developing items — add capillary tubes, beakers, jars or a chromatography kit to the same enquiry.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is chromatography paper used for?
It is used to separate the components of a coloured mixture, such as ink dyes, food colours or plant pigments, by letting a solvent carry them up a strip of paper at different rates. Schools and colleges use it for separation and Rf-value practicals.
What size are the sheets and how many come in a box?
Each sheet is 250 x 250 mm and a box holds 100 sheets. Most labs cut the sheets into strips to suit their own jars or chromatography tanks.
Which grade or thickness is the paper?
The listing does not state a grade or thickness. If your method or syllabus specifies one, include it in your enquiry and JLab will confirm what it can supply before you order.
Is a chromatography jar or kit included?
No. This listing covers the paper only. The Paper Chromatography Kit Portable, the Chromatography Set and capillary tubes for spotting are separate items, linked on this page, and can be added to the same enquiry.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, an Indian manufacturer of school and college laboratory equipment and consumables, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. This chromatography paper is produced at JLab’s own works rather than sourced from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy it factory-direct; every box is visually inspected before it is packed, and repeat orders come straight from the manufacturer. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Mexico in North America, the Maldives in South Asia, Iceland in Northern Europe, the Netherlands in Western Europe and Burkina Faso in West Africa. Institutions buying against a tender can find details on the JLab lab tenders page.
