RCX-30: High Exchange Capacity Anion Exchange HPLC Columns

Hamilton RCX-30 columns are designed with high exchange capacity for quality carbohydrate separation. Isocratic or gradient separations can be used depending on the complexity of the mixture. A pulsed amperometric detector (PAD) is recommended for gradient separations to utilize the full potential of this column. High pH can be used to enhance carbohydrate separation on RCX-30 columns due to the negative charge of sugars at basic pH.
Application Examples: Complex mono- and disaccharide separation.

RCX-30 Overview
Hamilton RCX-30 columns have further increased exchange capacity from RCX-10 columns. This results in longer retention and better separation of carbohydrate mixtures. High pH can be used to enhance carbohydrate separation on RCX-10 and RCX-30 columns due to the negative charge of sugars at basic pH.

Choosing Column Specifications
The sample amount needed to be purified or separated for analysis will dictate which scale of chromatography is needed. In general, the scales of chromatography are microbore, analytical, semi-preparative, and preparative. Nanoscale and microscale are smaller scale ranges but are not covered in Hamilton’s product offerings. READ MORE
