Set-up Marker Chromatography-demo-do one before class, one for the class
1. Obtain large test tubes (one for each marker to be tested), and place them in a test
tube rack.
2. Cut strips of chromatography paper slightly longer than the test tubes and slightly
narrower than the diameter of the test tubes.
3. In the center of each strip about 3 cm from the pointed end, place a dot of the
marker to be tested. The dot should be about 0.2 cm in diameter and dark enough to be
clearly visible.
4.
Place about 1.5 cm of water in each test tube.
5. Carefully insert the chromatography paper into the test tube, dotted end down. The
dot must be above the water, and the sides of the chromatography paper cannot touch
the sides of the test tube.
6. Allow the test tube to remain undisturbed until a good separation is obtained or until
the solvent front reaches the top of the test tube. In a good separation, the colors are
separated and the solvent is clearly above the top color.
