1. Make up Chromatography of Plant Pigments Lab …. Simulated that is! NEXT

2. Procedures Obtain a copy of the lab that looks like….. NEXT

3. Read & highlight the Introduction Obtain all of the materials required for the lab. NEXT

4. Trim your chromatography paper so that one end in in a point. Draw a faint pencil line and apply a drop of plant pigment to the line. NEXT

5. Fill the reaction chamber to the black line with developer. Feed the paper through the slot on the cap so that the tip enters the developer. Fold the top of the paper strip and secure with tape to hold it in place while the solvent “wicks” up. NEXT

6. Wait 5-7 minutes until the solvent / developer reaches the cap on the reaction chamber. Immediately mark the color bands on the CHROMATOGRAM before they fade. NEXT
