ALKION™ Columns

[tabby title=”Overview”]

ALKION™ ColumnsALKION™ Columns

The stationary phase in the ALKION™ column is a rigid, non-porous polymeric phase that is surface sulfonated. The two modes of separation are ion-exchange and moderate partitioning. The low capacity of the ion-exchange resin makes it an ideal phase for the separation of strongly basic and positively charged compounds. The reversed-phase character allows for discrimination between closely related species.

The unique properties of this column allow for its use in a wide range of applications.

[tabby title=”GARD™ “]

img-ccg-intro2GARD™ Column Protection System

The new GARD™ uses a proprietary material to prevent matrix compounds from passing through (and thereby protecting the analytical column), but allows the analytes of interest to pass unimpeded through the GARD™ and onto the analytical column.

The new GARD™ significantly prolongs column life without band spreading or added pressure. We demonstrated, by means of a performance comparison for Amino Acid Analysis, that the use of a GARD™ will effectively protect the analytical column, will be more cost-effective for the laboratory, is easy to change, is universal to cation-exchange applications, and most importantly has zero band spreading.

Wth the new GARD™ Column protection system from Pickering Laboratories the same cation-exchange GARD™ can be used for nearly all cation-exchange applications.
