SKU: WAT054410 Styragel GPC Guard Column, 20 µm, 4.6 mm X 30 mm in Toluene, 1/pk
Styragel GPC Guard Column, 20 µm, 4.6 mm X 30 mm in Toluene, 1/pk
Opt for the Waters Styragel GPC Guard Column, 20 µm, 4.6 mm X 30 mm in Toluene, 1/pk, which is a reliable, efficient, and versatile lab equipment that enhances the performance and durability of GPC systems. Its ability to effectively remove particulate matter and its compatibility with toluene makes it an excellent choice for researchers and analysts working with complex samples in liquid chromatography applications.
Guard columns are an essential component of gel permeation chromatography (GPC) systems, as they protect the analytical column from sample contaminants and prolong the lifespan of the analytical column. The Waters Styragel GPC Guard Column acts as a pre-column that captures particulate matter, salts, and other potential interferents that could adversely affect the performance of the analytical column.
With a particle size of 20 µm, this guard column provides efficient and effective sample pre-filtration, ensuring the removal of any potential particulate matter that may clog or damage the analytical column. This feature contributes to the enhanced robustness and longevity of the GPC system, resulting in consistent and reliable chromatographic performance over an extended period.
The dimensions of 4.6 mm X 30 mm make this guard column compatible with standard liquid chromatography systems, allowing for seamless integration into existing workflows. The lab equipment’s compact size facilitates easy installation and connection to the analytical column, minimizing system dead volume and maintaining excellent chromatographic resolution.
The choice of toluene as the mobile phase for this guard column further expands its versatility. Toluene is a common solvent used in various analytical applications, including the analysis of polymers, natural products, and organic compounds. Its compatibility with toluene makes the Waters Styragel GPC Guard Column suitable for a wide range of analytical tasks involving this solvent.
What Is The Recommended Flow Rate For The Styragel GPC Guard Column?
The recommended flow rate for the Styragel GPC Guard Column is 0.5 mL/min. Operating the column at a higher flow rate can cause an increase in backpressure and may lead to column damage or failure.
What Type Of Sample Matrices Are Compatible With The Styragel GPC Guard Column?
The Styragel GPC Guard Column is compatible with a wide range of sample matrices, including polymers, plastics, and other materials used in the chemical and manufacturing industries. It is particularly useful for the analysis of synthetic polymers and copolymers, as well as natural polymers such as proteins, polysaccharides, and nucleic acids.
