Shodex SUGAR SP Series (Pb2+ Form Ligand Exchange Chrom.)
the columns of the Shodex SUGAR series demonstrate high performance in separation and analysis of sugars. Packed with rigid styrene/DVB-based strong cation-exchange resin designed exclusively for separation of sugars. They are best suited to the application in food, biochemical and natural products. Although size-exclusion chromatography is the basic mode of separation for those columns, partition chromatography and interaction, i. e., ligand exchange, between counter ions and the sample are combined with the basic mode to enable subtle separation like that of monosaccharides. Also, the columns of the SH type enable simultaneous separation of organic acids and sugars because of their marked effectiveness in excluding ions.
