Shodex SC-1011 Column, 7 µm, 8 mm x 300 mm, 1/pk

Easily separate saccharides with a combination of ligand exchange and size exclusion modes by opting for the Shodex SC-1011 Column, which is a high-performance polymeric column specially designed for sugar analysis. The Shodex SC-1011 Column can be used with the certainty that it fulfills USP L19 and L22 requirements.

The Shodex SC-1011 Column is a piece of lab equipment that comes packed with rigid styrene/DVB-based strong cation-exchange resin designed exclusively for the separation of sugars. The columns of the Shodex SUGAR series demonstrate high performance in the separation and analysis of sugars. They are best suited to the application in food, biochemical and natural products. The Shodex SC-1011 Column uses size-exclusion chromatography as the basic mode of separation, while partition chromatography and interaction, i. e., ligand exchange between counter ions and the samples are combined with the basic mode to enable subtle separation like that of monosaccharides. Ligand exchange mode separates saccharides using this configuration difference of the complex formed between saccharides' hydroxyl groups and metal ions. The Shodex SC-1011 Column offers three types of counter ions, Ca2+, Pb2+, and Na+. The lab equipment requires only water for the analysis of neutral sugars.

To improve the separation of ionic substances, add a salt to the mobile phase. It is important that the salt is either Ca (NO3)2 or CaSO4, and its pH is in the 3-7 range. Prevent deterioration of column performance in the case of analysis of samples that contain large quantities of heavy metals by adding about 10 - 50 ppm of Ca-EDTA.

You can shop for lab equipment such as the product listed here or by exploring others available in the extensive Shodex columns range. We recommend that you also purchase the Shodex SC-LG Guard Column, 7 µm, 6 mm x 50 mm, 1/pk, which works in conjunction with the analytical column and protects it by removing any harmful chemical and particulate matter from the mobile stream.
