Chemistry Laboratory Kits—Chromatography
Introduction to Paper
Chromatography—
Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Paper chromatography is fun! In this unique kit, students conduct two paper chromatography
experiments. The first lab involves the separation of pigments from
different inks (marking pens). Many inks are mixtures made up of several pigments.
Each pigment has a different molecular structure and, usually, a different polarity. The
second experiment involves the separation of pigments found in plants. Using fresh
spinach leaves students separate out four to five different pigments responsible for
photosynthesis. These pigments are identified by their colors and relative position
on the chromatogram. Lab instructions include a detailed explanation of chromatography,
student-friendly instructions and helpful teacher tips. Chromatography pens,
paper and wood splints are included.
Complete for 24 students working in pairs. Super Value Kit is complete for 5 classes
of 30 students working in pairs.

Chromatography Challenge—
Science, Inquiry and Art—
Guided-Inquiry Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Black is the absence of color—or is it? The challenge in this inquiry-based activity
is for students to reproduce beautiful multicolor art patterns created by the teacher
using radial paper chromatography and a variety of black markers. Students are
amazed at the unique art chromatograms that can be made, and teachers delight
in the novel problem-solving strategies students use to recreate the designs. An
excellent activity to teach compounds and mixtures, the separation of mixtures and
the principles of chromatography. Includes detailed instructions with reproducible
student handouts, valuable Teacher Notes and a page of beautiful color photos of
sample art.
Complete for 90 radial chromatograms. Includes one set of eight markers.
Additional sets of markers are available separately.

Food Dye Chromatography—
Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Food dyes have been used extensively for more than 100 years. Would you eat
maraschino cherries if they were their natural color of beige instead of red? Explore
the properties of the seven Food, Drug and Cosmetic (FD&C) artificial food dyes with
this chromatography activity. Students determine the composition of an unknown
solution utilizing paper chromatography and the seven referenced FD&C food dyes
to learn more about polarity, food chemistry and chromatography. Includes reproducible
student handouts, detailed background information, complete Teacher Notes
with sample data and answers to all questions and all necessary chemicals and
consumable supplies.
Complete for 30 students in pairs. Includes Flinn Exclusive STEM Integration Guide.
