HiPer® Thin Layer Chromatography Teaching Kit

HiPer® Thin Layer Chromatography Teaching Kit enables the separation of a mixture of amino acids and subsequent identification of the test amino acids by measuring their respective Rf values. It is based upon the distribution of biomolecules between two immiscible phases: a stationary phase and a mobile phase. In this kit, silica coated plates is used as stationary phase. The mixture to be separated is dissolved in a solvent. and the solvent (mobile phase) is allowed to move through capillary action, separating the amino acids based on thier interaction with the stationary phase. Detection is based on ninhydrin reagent.
