Chromatography Paper No. 1
Chromatography Paper No. 1 (Product Code: SLE/CH/107) is a pack of 100 sheets of No. 1 chromatography filter paper, each sheet measuring 200 x 200 mm and very thin. It is used in paper chromatography to separate a sample into its component parts, for example letting students split blended water-soluble inks into the original pigments to reveal their hidden colours. In wider laboratory work it helps test for the presence of various materials, monitor the rate and progress of a reaction, or determine the purity of a product. Suitable for school and college practicals and for experiments at home, it is a core consumable for any paper chromatography kit for school labs and is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Typical Use
Cut a sheet into strips, draw a baseline in pencil a short distance from one end, and spot each ink or sample on the line. Stand the strip in a beaker with the solvent level below the baseline and cover it; as the solvent climbs, each component travels a different distance, leaving a row of separate spots. Students can then compare spots with known references or measure how far each has moved relative to the solvent front.
Handle sheets by the edges, because skin oils can distort the solvent flow, and never mark the baseline in ink, which would itself separate. Because the paper absorbs liquid readily and spreads it across a large surface, it also dries quickly between runs. Keep the pack sealed and flat in a dry cupboard. Labs sourcing from a chemistry consumables supplier in India usually order it with chromatography pens and TLC plates to cover both paper and thin-layer methods.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sheets are in a pack of Chromatography Paper No. 1, and what size are they?
Each pack holds 100 sheets, each 200 x 200 mm.
Can the sheets be cut into strips?
Yes. Cut them with clean scissors to whatever strip width your developing vessel needs.
Which solvent should I use?
Water works for separating water-soluble inks. Other samples may need a different solvent, as set out in your experiment method.
Can it be used outside the lab?
Yes, it can be used for various experiments in the laboratory and at home, with the usual care when handling solvents.
How should it be stored?
Keep it flat, dry and sealed in its pack, and handle sheets only by the edges.
Do you supply larger quantities for schools or distributors?
Yes. We supply institutions and distributors across India and international markets; tell us the number of packs and delivery location for a quotation.
