薄层色谱法分析圆珠笔色痕形成时间

 利用薄层色谱法对 70种市售的蓝色圆珠笔油墨的染料成分进行了研究。通过与染料标样的薄层色谱数据比较 ,发现国内圆珠笔厂生产的圆珠笔所用的油墨中的染料主要包括碱性紫、碱性蓝及铜酞菁 ,只是不同厂家的油墨中几种染料的配比不同。根据薄层扫描仪对油墨各斑点的扫描结果 ,确定了圆珠笔油墨成分中碱性紫和铜酞菁染料的峰高比值随着书写时间变化的关系 ,从而为法庭科学工作中鉴定圆珠笔字迹的色痕形成时间提供了可靠的依据。

Analysis of Writing Age of Ballpoint Pen Ink by Thin-Layer Chromatography

A method based on using a thin-layer chromatographic method (TLC) for determining changes in dye of ballpoint pen ink developed with writing age. An ink drawn line of 1 cm in length was cut and placed in Eppendorf tube. Extraction was performed with 20 microL ethanol at room temperature for 15 min, and heated in steambath for 10 min. The ethanol solution(4 microL) containing the extracted dyes was then spotted on TLC plate by syringe after cooling. The ballpoint pen ink spots were eluted in a solvent of isopropyl alcohol. Using TLC scanner, the spots on TLC plate were scanned at 580 nm. The relations between ratio of peak heights and writing age were attained. Thus, the information on relative writing age can be obtained. And, the powerful evidence for identifying the age of ballpoint pen ink is provided by this method in the field of forensic science.
