Introduction:
Most organic
materials found in nature, extracted from plants or from
other live organisms are not pure. Instead, they are a
mixture of two or more organic substances. In order to
identify each organic substance we first need to
separate them and get pure samples of each substance. We
can then use other techniques to identify each substance
based on it's chemical and physical properties. |
 |
Depending on the type of
chemicals, different methods may be used for separation. Among
these methods are: Chromatography, electrophoresis,
crystallization, filtration and others. Electrophoresis is the
method used to separate chemicals using electricity. |

Project
description:
In this project you will experiment and try to improve one of
the electrophoresis separation techniques. Some material needed
for your experiment needs to be purchased. An estimated budget
of $40 is required. |
