Toxicology 10-530

This kit simulates authentic drug screening. Students extract drugs from simulated urine using columns, elute the drugs, run them on chromatographic gels, and use visualization techniques to identify the drugs. The lab may be done in four standard lab periods or two three hour lab periods and is easily separated into drug isolation and chromatography sections. Approximately fifty minutes is required for completing the thin layer chromatography and visualization process, which must be done all at one time. Required, but not included: fume hood, water bath 65-70C, hair dryer, UV light (356 nm; black light, strong sunlight, plant lights, or a goggle cabinet), UV light short wave (254 nm), and ring stands. Designed for 24 students working in six groups of four. Meets national standards for grade levels 10-12.
