Chromatography Demo Setup — free printable diagram

About this illustration

A flat illustration depicts a clear glass beaker containing a light blue liquid, with a white strip of paper suspended vertically inside. The bottom edge of the paper is immersed in the liquid. A thick black line is visible near the bottom of the paper, and above it, a vibrant rainbow spectrum of colors (purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, red/pink) has spread upwards. This image teaches the scientific concept of paper chromatography, demonstrating how a mixture (like ink) can be separated into its individual components. It is a generic science illustration, suitable for worksheets, slides, or as a visual aid for chemistry and physical science lessons on mixtures and separation techniques.
