We develop separability criteria to identify non-k-separability (k = 2,3,...,n) and genuine multipartite entanglement in different classes of mixed n-partite quantum states using elements of density matrices. With the help of these criteria, we detect non-k-separability in n-qudit GHZ and W states respectively added with white noise. We also discuss the experimental implementation of our criteria by means of local observables.
