Ascending paper chromatography is where a chromatogram rises, or ascends. The paper moves up because the solvent moves it in an upward direction.

Towards the centre of the chromatogram. The smaller molecules are more mobile and appear towards the outside of the chromatogram.
Two ways of identifying amino acids on a chromatogram are paper and gas.
The chromatogram, or chromatography paper has solvent on it. Each pigment will separate itself from the others due to the relative solubility of that particular pigment.
So that you can measure how far it traveled.
it is because sweat and other substances especially colored ones may be present there. so it is best not to touch chromatogram papers to aviod contaminating it and getting erroneous results..:) chem.student..:)
The chromatogram in paper chromatography is just the paper itself. You can look at the paper and see the dots that have risen due to the solvent. The appearance is just simply a piece of paper with dots that have risen from the baseline to a certain spot on the paper. see related link below for more info
During the development of a chromatogram, it is better to cover it with a beaker to prevent evaporation, which will affect the movement of the solute and solvent system. This will ensure that the chromatogram will develop properly.
The substance moves according to the solubility of the substance. For example, dye a's solubility is water is high, it will reach the top of the chromatogram. If the dye is not soluble in water or low solubility in water, it will stop half way on the chromatography paper and/or will separate from the other dyes.
Ninhydrin solution is used and sprayed on the filter paper or any paper used to make the position of the amino acids clearly visible. This is followed by measuring the distance of migration.
