THIN LAYER CHROMATOGRAPHY 

Commercial food colors may contain more than meets the eye. Students will perform thin layer chromatography, a highly effective separation procedure, on four different food colors to determine if there may be more in each color than visual appearance would lead them to believe. Each group will perform the chromatography procedure in one of three different solvents and compare their results to other student groups, allowing students to reach conclusions regarding the solubility of each food dye in different solvents. The kit contains enough materials for 15 groups. Teacher's Manual and Student Study Guide copymasters are included.

..I contacted Geyer via email. I had an email back within minutes!.. A back and forth via email sometimes takes days with other companies and customer service doesn’t happen like this very often. When it does, it’s much appreciated. Brett at Geyer was very polite and accommodating!

John C.

The customer service rep went as far as to reach out to the manufacturer of a product to answer my question, and then provided pictures. She really went above and beyond and answered the question thoroughly and gave me exactly the information I was looking for. This entire process was also extremely fast.

I called to ask how to submit a Tax Exempt Certificate for my library and spoke to a real person, no automation or asking me to press a number. He was friendly, helpful and got our Tax Exempt status established immediately.

...I don't think I've ever experienced that level of customer service before, and taking it into consideration along with the quality of their products, I would absolutely recommend Geyer to fellow teachers.
