Shodex Sugar Series

SUGAR columns for analysing saccharides

Shodex presents the SUGAR series columns for the analysis of saccharides by ligand exchange chromatography.

Why should you use the SUGAR columns for analysing saccharides?

SUGAR SC1011, 1821, SP0810, KS-801/802

Only water is required for analysing neutral sugars
Available with the metal ions Ca2+, Pb2+ or Na+

SUGAR KS-803 to 807

Only water is required for analysing neutral sugars
Separation of sugars by size exclusion chromatography (SEC)

SUGAR DC-613

Sugar analyses are possible without removing sodium ions from the sample
Separation using ligand exchange chromatography and HILIC

SUGAR SZ5532

For the analyses of disaccharides and trisaccharides
Separation by ligand exchange chromatography and HILIC

SUGAR SC1211

For the analyses of sugar alcohols
Separation by ligand exchange chromatography and HILIC

SUGAR SH1011 and SH1821

For the simultaneous determination of sugars and organic acids
Separates sugars using the size exclusion mode and organic acids using the ion exclusion mechanism

Chemistry and mechanism of separation of SUGAR columns

SUGAR columns are based on hard styrene divinylbenzene copolymer and a strong anion exchange resin containing sulfo functional groups with metal ions. The metal ions interact with hydroxyl groups of the saccharides. Due to the steric differences of the saccharides, either more or fewer hydroxyl groups form a complex with the metal ion. This results in a stronger or weaker ligand exchange potential and a different sugar separation.
