Waters, WAT085188, Sugar-Pak Column, 10 µm, 6.5 mm X 300 mm, 1/pk

Sugar-Pak I Column, 10 µm, 6.5 x 300 mm is used for HPLC separation of monosaccharides and sugar alcohols by a strong cation-exchange mechanism. The stationary phase is a sulfonated styrene-divinylbenzene polymer operated in the calcium counterion form, providing the selectivity required for common carbohydrate separations. This mechanism resolves neutral sugars through interactions with the calcium-form resin rather than conventional reversed-phase retention. The column contains spherical 10 µm particles in a 6.5 mm internal diameter × 300 mm length format and is classified for carbohydrate analysis. The polymeric packing provides chemical stability and the column supports pressures up to 6000 psi (415 bar). The long 300 mm bed provides the separation path needed for closely related carbohydrate species, making the column suitable for analytical workflows involving sugars and polyols in food, fermentation, process or other aqueous samples where a dedicated carbohydrate stationary phase is required.
