Thin-Layer Chromatography Amino Acids Kit, Hubbard

Teach your students the principles of thin layer chromatography with this experiment. Students separate amino acids in two unknown solutions using thin layer chromatography plates and visualize the substances on the plates using ninhydrin. Students calculate the Rf values for each amino acid in the mixture and identify them by their Rf values. A complete experiment in separation science. Materials are sufficient for 24 students working individually.
