Product Overview
Whatman Grade 1 Chromatography Paper is a high-purity cellulose paper designed for reliable separation in qualitative analytical procedures. Engineered with a medium flow rate, it ensures consistent capillary action, making it ideal for applications requiring precise solvent migration. The papers uniform thickness and high alpha-cellulose content minimize background interference, delivering clear, reproducible results. Its medium retention capacity balances speed and resolution, allowing for efficient separation of complex mixtures. The paper undergoes rigorous quality control to maintain batch-to-batch consistency, ensuring dependable performance in critical lab workflows. Compatible with a wide range of solvents, it supports diverse chromatographic techniques without compromising structural integrity. The acid-free composition prevents sample degradation, preserving the integrity of sensitive analytes. Available in multiple dimensions, it adapts to various experimental setups, from small-scale tests to large-format separations. Its smooth surface reduces tailing effects, enhancing spot resolution for accurate qualitative analysis. Trusted by researchers worldwide, this chromatography paper combines durability with precision, making it a staple in laboratories demanding high standards of purity and performance.
FAQs
1. What is the flow rate of Whatman Grade 1 Chromatography Paper?
Whatman Grade 1 has a medium flow rate, typically around 130 mm/30 min, balancing speed and separation efficiency for most chromatographic applications.
2. Can this paper be used with organic solvents like acetone or ethanol?
Yes, it is compatible with a wide range of organic solvents, including acetone, ethanol, and methanol, without losing structural integrity or performance.
3. How should this chromatography paper be stored to maintain its quality?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and chemical vapors. Keep the original packaging sealed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination.
4. Is Whatman Grade 1 suitable for preparative chromatography?
While primarily designed for qualitative analysis, it can be used for small-scale preparative work due to its medium retention capacity and consistent flow properties.
5. What alternatives exist if I need a faster or slower flow rate?
For faster flow, consider Whatman Grade 3 or 4MM; for slower flow and higher retention, Whatman Grade 4 or 17MM are suitable alternatives.
