Fast Carbohydrate Analysis Column

Aminex HPLC columns are packed with a polymer-based matrix (polystyrene divinylbenzene). They separate compounds using the ion-moderated partition chromatography technique. Aminex carbohydrate analysis columns separate compounds using a combination of size exclusion and ligand exchange mechanisms:

In oligosaccharide separations, size exclusion is the primary mechanism. Low crosslinked resins allow carbohydrates to penetrate, and oligosaccharides separate by size.

This lead-form, 100 x 7.8 mm column is tailored for extremely fast separations of specific carbohydrates in samples where only certain components are of interest. It is optimized for 5-minute analyses of sucrose, glucose, galactose, and fructose.
