Technical Specifications

About This Product

This chromatography kit shows how charge affects a molecule's behaviour. Most molecules carry a net charge within a pH range of 2 to 10, and when the pH is altered this charge can change. Students prepare a column, load the two-chemical mixture onto the ion exchanger and then alter the pH during elution to isolate the different molecules.
