About This Simulation
How can we separate liquids from solids? How can we determine the purity of that solid? In this simulation you will learn how to use the suction filtration and melting point techniques that will allow you to answer both questions.
Learning Objectives
- Explain the fundamentals of recrystallization theory and be able to describe the process on molecular and operational levels
- Carry out the recrystallization technique by following best practices
- Be able to troubleshoot and rectify common problems encountered in recrystallization

This mini-simulation is part of the larger “Recrystallization: Purify your solid.” See the full version for more information.
How can we separate a solid from a liquid and determine its purity?
In this simulation, you will learn all the steps necessary to separate a solid from a liquid and then determine the purity of that solid.
Filtrate and determine the melting point
Filtrate a solid to separate it from a liquid. Once done, you will be able to determine the solid’s melting point range, which will allow you to determine its purity.
Fast, painless, and repeatable melting points!
The melting point technique uses the reagent in the process, meaning you could run out in a normal laboratory experiment. Luckily, in this virtual simulation you’ll be able to repeat the process as many times as you need—no need to worry about the amount of reagent left!
Understand the big picture and master the individual steps
In this lab, you will be able to understand what we’re trying to achieve from the very beginning. You’ll also have a very detailed protocol to follow, including support images, to help make your experience smooth.

For Science Programs Providing a Learning Advantage
North Dakota State College of Science
“They did the simulation at home, then completed the in-person lab within 30 minutes, no questions asked, and passed the quiz with flying colors.”
Lecturer in Human Physiology
University of Westminster
"I saw some of the students who clearly didn’t necessarily like sitting there reading a book discover they could turn on Labster and keep up with the rest of the class because it spoke to them.
Modesto City Schools
"Having something that's engaging for the students gives teachers that opportunity to breathe and get excited again. Because they're seeing the kids light up, they're seeing the kids engage with content."
Wenatchee Valley College
"The question always is, ‘Can we demonstrate that the students are meeting course outcomes?’ Check! We can do that.”
San José State University
"We surveyed over 400 students. More than 90% thought Labster was easy to navigate, and that it was fun, but more importantly, most of them felt confident that they could execute the labs in person. And that confidence is a big deal."

Labster can be integrated within a school's LMS (Learning Management System), and students can access it like any other assignment in their LMS. If your Institution does not choose an LMS integration, students will log in to Labster's Course Manager once they have an account created. Your institution will decide the access method during the sales process.
Labster is only available for purchase by faculty and administration at academic institutions. To procure Labster, simply reach out to us on our website. Schedule a demo, book a meeting to discuss pricing, start a free trial, or simply fill out our contact form.
Labster simulations are created by real scientists and designed with unparalleled interactivity. Unlike point and click competitors, Labster simulations immerse students and encourage mastery through active learning.
Labster supports a wide range of courses at the high school and university level across fields in biology, chemistry and physics. Some simulations mimic lab procedures with high fidelity to train foundational skills, while others are meant to bring theory to life through interactive scenarios.
