PRP-X500: Methacrylate (SAX) Anion Exchange HPLC Column

PRP-X500 is a superficially porous polymeric anion exchange column designed for the separation, purification and isolation of proteins, peptides and DNA/RNA. The methacrylate polymeric coating of the PRP-X500 provides a more hydrophilic surface, preventing hydrophobic interaction sample losses.
Application Examples: Proteins, peptides, and DNA/RNA.

PRP-X500 Overview
Fast separations and good sample recovery
PRP-X500 is a superficially porous polymeric anion exchange column designed for the separation, purification and isolation of proteins, peptides and DNA/RNA. The methacrylate polymeric coating of the PRP-X500 provides a more hydrophilic surface, preventing hydrophobic interaction sample losses typically seen on other commercially available protein HPLC columns.
The non-porous nature of the packing material improves mass-transfer, shortening run times and improving resolution. Both fast separations and good sample capacity are achievable with PRP-X500 columns.
Sample recovery is excellent with PRP-X500 and the support’s limited permeability prevents proteins from entering the pores and unfolding, which causes peak ghosting. The superficially porous properties of the packing material improves mass-transfer, shortening the diffusion path of the analyte. This results in shortened run times, improved resolution, and sharp sample bands.
