Performing Column Chromatography

  • We just learned about thin layer chromatography, but a much more industrially relevant technique is column chromatography. This is how we will separate large quantities of compounds in a mixture by virtue of their differing polarities. It follows the same principles as TLC, but we are pushing compounds down a column of silica gel rather than up a TLC plate. Let's check it out!

    I was shown around the department at the start of my biology Ph.D. first thing I did in that laboratory was accidentally knock over someone’s column chromatography experiment.

    Oh my god. I am currently a PhD student in ochem and I didn’t actually learn what a column is (my undergrad was not quite on the level of most institutions). My current research lab has an auto column but I’m also just very early in my research so I’ve only used it once and don’t quite understand the theory if it. This is my first time seeing the theory and it truly reminds me so much of why I love chemistry. So interesting!

    One point to add, please dont manipulate silica without a respirator, its a inhalation hazard, especially doing the wet technique.

  • @wangchuanqi3942
    @wangchuanqi3942 Рік тому

    I usually prefer to add sand before I load the sample. It is less likely to disturb the silica gel level with sand on top.

    Thanks very much for a good example of column chromatography. Can you tell a concentration of methyl red and bromocresol green in your sample? Or suggest a concentration. I need this for laboratory practice for students.

  • @maheraberu2000
    @maheraberu2000 Рік тому

    The problem is that producers of beads like thermifischer unfortunately don't say what is inside the slurry of the beads and that makes sometimes problems. It's extremely expensive too

    Please, please, don’t just turn the tap on any burette with one hand! You can put a lot of strain on the thin tubing joint between the tube and the stopcock. If it’s just a little stiff you can break the stopcock off spilling solvent everywhere let alone the risk of glass fragments…
    And yes, that’s from experience…

    thank you very much. quick question: the solvent that is used to dissolve the compounds (6:59), is it same as the eluent?

    • @Noldor97
      @Noldor97 2 місяці тому +1

      So you could do that. keep in mind that you really want to use a solvent where your sample is fully dissolved in as little of solvent as possible.Most of the time it doesnt really matter if you use some other solvent here, as its getting diluted so fast in the column that it doesnt really matter.

      Okay so: sand at the bottom to prevent silica from getting in your samples that you collect.
